On June 30, a remarkable work of art was officially unveiled in the European Square in Warsaw – the Vanishing Mural. The mural's theme refers to a currently important aspect – world peace. The project was carried out on the initiative of IMMOFINANZ – the owner of the myhive Warsaw Spire tower, and CA Immo – the owner of the two lower buildings of the Warsaw Spire complex. Artists affiliated with the art foundation Passing Gallery are responsible for realizing the idea. The Disappearing Mural was created around the largest fountain in the European Square and appeared when the artwork comes into contact with water, i.e., when the fountain is turned on or when it rains. The official unveiling of the work was accompanied by a musical happening with a performance by the Pogodno group.
The critical elements of the mural are Mermaid and Triton – arranged in the form of a yin and yang symbol, signifying the perfect balance, the combination of the duality of reality, order, and harmony governing the entire universe, Picasso's Pigeon – painted in Warsaw's Wola during his visit to Poland, the lyrics of the Pogodno band leader's song "Don't be afraid of rain, because I am the rain" – referring to the theme of the mural. The words "Let's heal the world and make it better." The text in five languages (Polish, English, German, Spanish, and Ukrainian) is located on the outline of the mural.
