I wished I was more like Nature

A large mural painted on the side of a brick building. The artwork features:

On the left: a large, stylized portrait of a woman with wide, expressive eyes and a wreath of greenery and flowers on her head. Her hair flows in sweeping, turquoise-green strokes that extend across the wall.

Near the center: a fairy-like figure with insect wings, crouched and interacting with the flowing hair. The fairy is painted in a lighter color palette, making it stand out against the brick background.

On the right: large handwritten text in black paint that reads:
"I wished I was more like Nature. Her secret is: patience."

Beneath the text, the mural is signed "Mara at Ancoats 2013."

The wall shows signs of age, with patches of paint peeling and brick exposed, but this adds to the character of the piece. The overall mood is dreamy and reflective, with a theme of nature, transformation, and calm patience.
