• Location: Rainham High Street and Parkwood on lamp posts and in shop windows.

Believe in Kindness is a series of sign-based artworks that thanked the community for taking care of each other.

The two installations reminded people that despite being physically apart, we can still feel connected.

Positive messages illuminated 3 business windows at Rainham Shopping Centre in the form of bespoke LED-neon signs, shining gentle reminders of kindness and love. They aimed to warm hearts and make people smile.

Playful road sign inspired artworks that showed gratitude to visitors for following guidelines and being friendly to each other, could also be discovered on lamp posts at both Rainham Shopping Centre and Parkwood Green.

Although the signs subtly reminded people to continue to physically distance, they also celebrated everyone who continued to do their best to be kind and considerate.
