A monumental 30.2 × 64-metre mural painted in 2015 by VHILS on the seaward face of eight grain silos at the port of Catania, as part of the Emergence Festival. The work depicts a male face with carved features gazing eastward toward Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Syria — a symbolic gesture of welcome to all peoples connected to Sicily across the Mediterranean. At nearly 1,933 m², it remains the largest mural VHILS has produced.
