In the MOCCA courtyard, on a building also destined for demolition and redevelopment, Jung’s large-scale mural depicts an apartment whose façade has already been destroyed, its bare structure exposed with chunks of concrete dangling from wires.

The image captures a moment of both creation and destruction: Jung’s red-painted walls are visible on the upper storey, while the entire complex vividly glows as though on the verge of explosion.
