The art piece

As part of the renovation of the Grimisuat school, a remarkable urban art piece has been created. Entitled ‘Every Drop Counts’, this colorful mural becomes a powerful symbol of unity and hope placed at the heart of the school center, a symbol of knowledge and transmission for new generations.

Artist Jasm One has created an art piece with a double reading, playing on microscopic and macroscopic scales. The oval shape evokes both a drop of water seen through a microscope and the planet Earth observed from afar, naively represented as a disk. This iconography becomes a metaphor for the link between the individual and the collective, a duality that introduces the idea that each person, like each drop, has its place and importance in a larger whole.

The use of water as a lens for reflection resonates deeply with the history of Grimisuat, a commune that has always had to deal with the scarcity of this vital resource. At the same time, the mural celebrates the resilience and ingenuity of the inhabitants in the face of this challenge, while raising awareness of the importance of preserving this precious resource.

An unrivalled performance
The art piece involved 352 pupils aged 4 to 12 in an unprecedented artistic performance produced in just 8 hours. On a giant 10-meter canvas laid on the ground, the children created a collective art piece using the pointillism technique. Simultaneously, Jasm One reproduced their creation on the school wall, establishing a striking visual dialogue between the ephemeral art piece on the ground and the permanent mural.

Every Drop Counts’ leaves an imprint far beyond its physical presence. This experience will remain engraved in the memories of the young participants, carrying a strong message about the value of each individual and the power of collective action. By contributing to this art piece, each student felt recognized, both as a unique individual and as an essential member of his or her community. This initiative strengthens the bonds between students, their school and their environment, celebrating their creativity and their ability to make a difference in a common effort.
