To coincide with the recent World Environment Day (June 5), Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic unveiled a new artwork in Kuala Lumpur that resembles the popular board game, Scrabble.

The 14.6m x 4.9m mural, titled Transboundary Haze, is painted on a metal perimeter hoarding for a construction site, located between Agrobank and the National Textiles Museum along Leboh Pasar Besar in KL. If you are walking past the Dataran Merdeka area, you can't miss it.
