This is probably a better shot, but I just wanted to capture the decay and desolation of the building too ...

Wow, that's so so beautiful. This is from that Bosnian tribute isn't it? It's so nice.

Thank you for posting it, Debs.

You're welcome, this was the narrative to the article ..

Quote:
Two Bosnian artists created the work, moved by Bowie's death in January at the age of 69. It is 13m (43ft) high and 10.5m (34ft) wide.

The project's mastermind was a local musician, Vedad Trbonja, who called the British singer his "spiritual father".

In 1994 Bowie bought an anti-war painting by artist Peter Howson showing a Bosnian Muslim woman being raped.

The new mural in Sarajevo is on a ruined building near the street known as Sniper Alley during the 1993-1995 war. Sarajevo endured a bloody siege by Bosnian Serb forces in which civilians became snipers' targets.

The mural pays tribute to Bowie's hit songs Heroes and Fashion, bearing the slogan: "Fashion changes, but you'll always be my heroes".

It is the work of Enis Cisic, a Marvel comics illustrator, and Zoran Herceg. A crowd of several hundred attended the unveiling on Saturday.

Thank you for quoting the narrative here, Debs. It really is wonderful that you have taken the time to do that.

Thank you so much for providing the context behind the mural, Debs.

I've read before that David owned the painting of a Bosnian woman being raped, and I saw it, too. Very heavy stuff. He seemed to really go for art that had political/social subject matter attached to it. I also saw his own paintings he'd done... the portraits of himself and Iggy... and they have so much character to them. I love how he dabbled in everything, not just music.

I don't think I've seen that one ~ and I'm not sure I want to. It's a truly bleak time in European history but I am glad that my post provoked the comments, and I am happy that he has been honoured in this way.

I think a lot of us are still having problems processing the fact that David Bowie actually died He was never meant to.

Yes, a horrible time in history.

And I know, it's such a huge loss. I still do not want to believe it, but that's crazy.
