At the end of December, Fanakapan painted a mural on Hanbury Street using his glass animal style. The image depicts two glass geese following an animal (a fox perhaps), and the animal is holding a goose in its mouth. The background is blue with white lettering, which looks like the name of the American president and the branding and colours of the political party. According to the artist's Instagram, the piece is a political message as the president is not very popular. The artwork is titled "Follow the Leader". I don't like being reminded of the current events particularly and would have preferred a more comical piece that I've seen the artist make many times and have enjoyed.
