Stavanger, Norway's street art capital: NIMI, who originally hails from South Africa, is a street artist based in Bergen, Norway. He is best known for his intricate mural work and has been part of the Nuart Festival in Stavanger and Aberdeen.

The female figure depicted was originally conceptualised after the artist came across a photograph of a Nepalese woman during an earthquake in the region. The artist questioned how quickly this seismic event disappeared from the media landscape and wanted to come up with something that would tell part of their story and serve as a reminder about nomadic people's struggles worldwide.
