Hidden within Dublin’s urban tapestry is the Soulsun Mural. It’s more than just a splash of color; it’s a tribute to lives lost. Street artist Asbestos, inspired by Joseph Beuys’s concepts of the soul’s transition, created this poignant work. The Soulsun Mural, commissioned by the Hugh Lane Gallery, is composed of thousands of burned matchsticks. Each match represents a life lost during the pandemic in Ireland, extinguished at a different stage. Asbestos performed a ritual, uttering an incantation with each extinguished match. This act symbolized a hand held during a final passage. The figure within the Soulsun Mural is Asbestos himself, hands raised to the sky in hope. The message is clear: even in loss, there is unity and strength.
