The building in question is the [Block Berge Bygg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-first-renovation-platform) construction company's headquarters in Rogaland county, Norway. The [beautiful mural](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1) created by Ella & Pitr on the premises is overwhelmingly impressive in terms of sheer scale, but it also has a beautiful design and symbolism. The mural depicts a sleeping girl curled up as if the rooftop was a box that she was resting in. Beside her lies a brightly painted doll of a king. The piece is titled 'Lilith & Olaf,' and is presumably a political jab at King Olaf I, who was born in the region. The Ella & Pitr mural rests under the flight path of the nearby Sola airport, so that plane passengers get a good view of it as they go by. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Massive Rooftop Murals:** Opportunity to create large-scale artworks on rooftops, transforming the urban landscape. - **Streetart Collaborations:** Collaborations between street artists to create stunning and thought-provoking murals in public spaces. - **Symbolism in Street Art:** Utilizing street art to convey powerful messages and political commentary through symbolic imagery. ### Where This Applies - **Construction:** Incorporating rooftop murals as a way to enhance the aesthetic appeal and branding of buildings. - **Art and Design:** Exploring new possibilities for large-scale public art installations that captivate and engage viewers. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Leveraging rooftop murals as unique attractions and photo opportunities for tourists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Street Art-Inspired Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/met-rooftop.md) - [Paper-Like Art Museum Roofs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-paper-art.md) - [Mural Design Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-by-squares.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Bubblegum Street Art Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding.md) - [Paper-Inspired Artful Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst.md) - [30-Foot Tall Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/megasize-roxie.md) - [Gas Rig Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/striking-art-installation.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md)
