"I'm Artifacts, the muralist who just designed and painted, Imagination, which is the name of, the piece that's going up right now," Artifacts said, describing the work and their background painting in cities including Barcelona.
Artifacts told attendees the piece took about two months to complete and is the most intricate mural they have created. "This 1 in particular took about 2 months to paint. It's the most, intricate that I've done," the artist said. They described the mural as built from "about 5 layers, 5 different, I would say, parts of the design," and said a number of moving parts aligned to help the project come to life.

And I worked my **** off to get here, and I am very proud of myself too. So thank you everyone, and much love."
