How does this artwork elucidate its Description?
Based on a photograph by Daniel Cheetham, the painting of Marcus Rashford was completed in 2020 by street artist Akse, in collaboration with the street art project Withington Walls, to commemorate the footballer's work to reduce child hunger. The mural is a black and white portrait painting, and appears on an exterior wall of Coffee House Café on Copson Street, near where Rashford was raised in Old Moat. The mural's quote, which reads, "Take pride in knowing that your struggle will play the biggest role in your purpose", was taken from a letter published as part of a campaign with Burberry to fund youth centres.
