The work is meant to exude togetherness, shared creation that can create value. In a previous exhibition in 2018, Mullan worked once before with so-called “blue men” as material. While the focus there was on the individual characters, here the big picture comes to the fore – not the employee, but the company as a whole is symbolized. The size of the work in space also plays a role and can be interpreted figuratively as a possible industrial site.
