The sad and desperate faces on the art here under the arches is very telling of the many real lives of the oppressed, homeless or vulnerable that need and deserve a better life. I can feel their pain in this non-commissioned piece of street art and social commentary.

Nice mural. Simple but effective. Like it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a sad mural for sure in a desperate part of a wall.
ReplyDeleteIt displays a problem that will never be completely solved.
ReplyDeleteYes, you can feel desperation in this mural. A sign of our times?
ReplyDeleteWow - you can feel the sadness.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Chrissy. As much as I would like to think that everything is coming up roses everywhere...clearly this is a reminder that it isn't. A good reality check!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very sad indeed. Do you know some people actually BELIEVE that people live on the streets because they want to? Weird, eh?
ReplyDeleteI've been watching The Killing on AMC and they are dealing with this very topic in their current storyline. Sad to see all the teens living on the street in the show.
ReplyDeleteUnderground, underworld, netherworld it's all channeled here in these images by the marginalized and hopeless. And ultimately the invisible. Very moving. Thank you for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
