The street artist named Hera always gets people’s interest when we publish her work. Nymphs and animals and mystic creatures with emotional eyes evoke a theater of street mythology. Adjacent to poetic non-sequiturs, Hera’s murals often resemble scenes within a more extensive play. Trees, walls, and sky are all part of the backdrop for the narrative she creates, implied as part of the same theatrical set design. You can be sure she intended something specific to be interpreted each time, but a passerby is free to co-author the story in their mind.
