The CityTelling Festival, one of the biggest events of the "Kaunas 2022"  ( Kaunas – European Capital of Culture 2022 ) programme "Memory Office". I was invited to create mural dedicated to jewish family that lived in Kaunas before WW2. It was inspired by interwar photography, in which we see a girl – Rosian Bagriansky with her mother Gerta. Rosian was born in 1935 in Kaunas. Her father, Paul Bagriansky, was a successful textile merchant, and her mother was a Paris trained concert pianist and music teacher who later became the Konzertmeister of the Lithuanian Music Theatre after the war. The family survived the Holocaust. In this street art piece you can also see one of the most beautiful poems of the Lithuanian Jewish poet Hirsh Ošerovičius.
