A spectacular 12-metre mosaic honouring Pope Leo XIV has been unveiled at a university in Chiclayo, Peru. Created by US artist Stan Herd, the giant circular artwork features nearly 9,000 colourful ceramic and majolica pieces and took 11 days to complete. The tribute celebrates the Pope's deep connection with the city, where he spent several years serving the local community. The unveiling comes ahead of his expected visit to Chiclayo on November 13.

00:43As an artist from the Estatus Unitas, I've always loved South America and Latin America, and I've created projects in
00:56a few places in Latin America, but I've always dreamed of doing something like this.
00:59When I've heard about the Pope, that he had become the new leader of the Catholic world, I decided that
01:07I wanted to come and honor him and come to Chiclayo, where he spent so many years here working with
01:15the people, and so that inspired me to come here.

01:48The entrance I've done in China and Cuba and other places in the United States has led me to this
01:55place, led me to this day, led me to an opportunity to embrace a man with compassion, with love, with
02:05humility, which is lacking in world leaders right now big time.
02:09He's a beautiful man with great humility, and I'm here to honor.
