A Whale of a Time

In September 2018, Alex McKell painted the striking Geometric Whale mural in the heart of Ettelbruck, Luxembourg. This project highlighted a powerful environmental message about the critical issue of ocean plastic pollution and its harmful impact on marine life. Despite being a landlocked country, the mural serves as a daily reminder of the interconnectedness of our ecosystems and humanity’s responsibility to protect sea life.

The artwork, with its bold geometric design, not only beautified the urban space but also sparked awareness and conversation about climate change and the collective role humans play in addressing it. The mural embodies Alex’s vision of combining art with advocacy to create meaningful change
