As protests have dragged on since March, 77 mosaics of comprised of posters, flyers and Post-it notes have sprung up across public spaces in Hong Kong, bearing slogans that reiterate the protesters' calls for democracy and denunciations of China's efforts to bring the former British colony to heel.

According to Facebook's translation of the post, Ho wanted"The people of the districts of Hong Kong to cheer up, starting from September to make good environmental hygiene, tear up the trash that affects the city and clean the walls. At the same time, people should also wash them and improve the walls, the environment!"

Volunteer teams and pro-Chinese counter-protesters set about the task as media outlets looked on and chagrined protesters vowed to recreate the walls. Some drew comparisons between Hong Kong's pro-Chinese factions and fascist regimes.
