Music video, 2:15 minutes
 
This music video includes documentation from a large-scale public mural, created in Comuna 13, Medellín in Columbia. Grito E Monte visualizes ocean plastic pollution through symbolic marine imagery entangled with human-made waste, connecting everyday consumption to its global consequences. Developed in collaboration with local artists and community members, the work functions as both a visual intervention and a site of collective engagement. Unveiled alongside a public gathering and dialogue, the mural situates climate awareness within a neighborhood where art has long served as a tool for storytelling.
