Synopsis

A mural inspired by a photograph taken in 1977 by Anna Turbau at the Psychiatric Hospital of Conxo. The couple formed by Nati Andreoli and Lina Castellanos found the perfect location, by means of their style similar to mural realism, with which to highlight the central nature of care in a field as forgotten as that of mental health.
