“Have you heard the flowers growing?” – this graffiti, visible in Ettelbruck, is a poetic invitation to reconnect with nature. We often only notice flowers when they are in full bloom, yet we rarely pay attention to their quiet growth. The artwork serves as a reminder to slow down the pace of everyday life, to allow for silence, and to consciously notice and appreciate the small, unassuming beauties around us.

Collin van der Sluijs realized already a mural back in 2021 under the Deich bridge. He returned in august 2023 to realize this project. Inspired by the surrounding he realized this “freestyle” artwork. He is also known for his murals illustrating birds (a passion he got from his grandfather) which you can find all over the world. But he has a special crush on Chicago where you can find his artworks at Vertical Gallery but also all in the “South Side” neighborhood.

Entering Ettelbruck by car from Luxembourg or from Bastogne you can see briefly this beautiful mural, realized by Luxembourgish Artist Daniel Mac Lloyd during the campaign about child rights, realized in October 2023. Like a bird in the hand, children should grow up in a safe and loving environment which guarantees their rights to health, education and protection. At Hariko's backyard, a cultural venue for individuals aged 12-26, you can sign up for a graffiti workshop.
