The city of Christchurch is increasingly one of multitude, and therefore, it takes multiple artworks to frame that idea of what Christchurch is, rather than one picturesque postcard of the cathedral or another landmark.

克赖斯特彻奇市越来越多地之一，因此，需要多个艺术品来构建基督城是什么的想法，而不是一张风景如画的大教堂或另一个地标的明信片。

"I think now it's an elegant ballerina rising up. It's a cacophony of characters, words, and names across a wall. It's bold cultural discourses. All of these things come together to reflect a city that, I think, has undergone significant change over the last 10 years and has started to show real pride in that diversity."

“我认为现在这是一个优雅的芭蕾舞演员。这是墙壁上的角色，单词和名字的刺耳声。这是大胆的文化话语。所有这些事情都融合在一起，反映了一个我认为在过去10年中发生了重大变化的城市，并且已经开始在这种多样性中表现出真正的自豪感。”

Christchurch City Council's principal arts advisor Kiri Jarden (Ngāi Tahu, Rangitāne, Ngāti Toa Rangatira) had described Ōtautahi as "dynamic, evolving, and embracing of diversity - maybe in a way that wasn't quite felt or present pre-quake by everyone in the community."

Bradley was born and raised in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).

"I'm really blessed - and privileged - to be able to introduce Māori into my work. It's a real honour. It's not something that I've kind of done in the past, but through the lens of graffiti, I've been able to push a lot of that tikanga through my work."

“我真的很幸运 - 很有荣幸 - 能够将毛利人介绍给我的作品。这是一个真正的荣誉。这不是我过去做过的事情，但是通过涂鸦的镜头，我能够通过我的工作来推动很多Tikanga。”

"From an outsider's point of view, it's kind of how I've seen Christchurch - Ōtautahi - rise up after some of the incidents that have happened here in recent years. It's just been beautiful to watch this city rise again, and hopefully, my work is a representation of that."

“从局外人的角度来看，我看到克赖斯特彻奇（ōtautahi）是在近年来发生的一些事件之后崛起的。

Jacob Root - or Distranged Design - had been commissioned to create a mural outside The Muse Christchurch Art Hotel.

"What inspires me is probably the city of Christchurch itself. Growing up after the earthquakes and seeing how much art kind of popped up from all of the destruction that happened here kind of got me into it and made me want to be a part of it."

“激发我的启发可能是基督城本身。在地震之后长大，看到在这里发生的所有破坏中弹出了多少艺术，这使我进入了它，使我想成为其中的一部分。”

It took him about 300 litres of architectural paint, 350 cans of spray paint, and three and a half weeks to complete.

"The idea behind it is pretty open to interpretation. I kind of create works without any real massive concepts behind them. I tend to like letting the viewer come up with their own ideas about it."

“它背后的想法非常开放。我有点创作作品，而没有任何真正的大规模概念。我倾向于让观众提出自己对此的想法。”

"I guess I'm a self-taught mural artist to a certain degree. I grew up sort of doing graffiti at a younger age, and now I do this for a living. Right after the earthquakes, me and a few mates started just painting really derelict areas that were kind of crying out for a bit of attention, so it's really cool to sort of see it progress now and get a lot of international attention as well."

“我想我在某种程度上是一位自学成才的壁画艺术家。我从小就在做涂鸦，现在我这样做是为了谋生。在地震后，我和一些伴侣开始只是绘画的地方，这些地区确实哭了出来，这些地区有点哭泣，以吸引一点关注，因此，现在很酷的是，它的进展很酷，并且引起了很多国际关注。”
