A mural signed by Nhobi and Seek313 on a wall of the Montée des Accoules, in Le Panier. It takes literally the Provençal saying painted to the right of the composition, "...tuer un âne à coup de figues (molles)...", said of an endless task tackled with hopeless means: a broadly grinning character in a soft-brimmed hat and khaki clothes holds the donkey on a rope and lobs a fig at it, to the animal's astonishment, while the figs already thrown pile up at its hooves. Behind them, a large blue heart and a city in flat yellows, oranges and purples. The pair's signature and the words "weART crew 2018" sit in the lower right, on the turquoise band.
