Unveiling the mural on her own social media, Emmalene used the artwork to encourage people to “hold out hope and persevere”.
“2020 has been an extremely hard year. A lot of people are hurting… But this will not last forever. It will come to an end. So now more than ever we need to continue to hold out hope and persevere. One day, hopefully soon enough, we’ll return to normality, even if it is a changed one.”
