Mental Wellness Meets Street Art
Artists name: Holly Pereira
Location: Tara Street, Dublin
Reflecting Ireland’s artistic culture and community, three Irish street artists will be painting murals depicting their artistic interpretation of mental wellbeing in Dublin, Cork and Galway.
This piece by Illustrator & Muralist Holly Pereira is a typographic response to the phrase "Mind your Head", and seeks to ask us to consider the importance of mental health in our daily lives.
The art aims to brighten the streets and acts as a creative reminder to passers-by that mental health support is available via the SilverCloud® digital mental health platform.
