White relief

On the left everything is white, on the right it burns. It looks as if you are standing on the border between a part of the wall that has yet to begin and a part already in bloom, but the white is not emptiness: these are leaves and shapes pressed into the wall, visible only because the light casts shadows into them.
This detail of For the Love of God, the mural by Francis Sling at Landhuis Rondeklip, Curaçao, was photographed on 28 May 2025. On his old website it sat above the section about the artwork itself.
You could read it as the whole work in miniature: first the shape, then the colour. Just as it began with lines on blue, and only later with flowers.
