An internationally unique work of art created on Europejski square – a Disappearing Mural, was officially unveiled end of June.The theme of the mural refers to the important aspect of peace in the world.

The key elements of the mural include: (i) The Mermaid and the Triton - arranged in the form of a yin and yang symbol, which symbolizes a perfect balance, a combination of duality of reality, order and harmony governing the entire universe, (ii) Picasso pigeon - painted in Warsaw Wola district during his visit to Poland, (iii) the lyrics of the song of the leader of the Pogodno band "Don't be afraid of the rain - because I'm the rain myself" - referring to the theme of the mural, as well as the words "Let's heal the world and make it a better place" - the text is on the mural's outline – written in five languages (Polish, English, German, Spanish and Ukrainian).
