Dublin City Council has once again ordered for the removal of one of Subset’s murals, this time targeting the ‘Think & Wonder’ piece on Grantham Street.
Part of a wider series of artworks titled ‘Mental Health’, the mural aims to spark consideration and conversation regarding the relationship each person has with themselves.
