 To create it, the artist hung himself with ropes from the roof of the building, a technique that, as mentioned, makes the realization of the work difficult, but offers him the freedom to create alone and quietly without lifting cranes.

It also avoids scaffolding which hides parts of the project during execution.

Approximately 25 working days were required to complete the project, which took place at different times in the second half of 2023.

The project is part of the public mural program of the Municipality of Athens and was curated by Katerina Koskina.
