On a wall (Adelaide)

sadly like alot of australians i suspect I have become de-sensitised to alot of this, however there is nothing like a childs thoughts to really bring you back to the harsh realities of our world and provide a different, genuine view.

Zafra whilst you image s nothing more than a recording, i think in this case its all that is needed. That said, I think maybe the inclusion of a westerner in the frame somehow would provide a good context to the frame.

Thank you for your comment. You are quite right and having someone in the frame would had made a big difference. Unfortunately, when I was in the lane taking the photo the few passers-by very politely walked behind my back, which was not what I wanted. I wanted someone slightly blurred walking by illustrating your very point (tired of the boat issue and lack of engagement) or someone facing the mural reflecting on its sad message. As I was not able to capture people, I ended by cropping the photo very tight. This is a composite of two photographs and a bit deceitful as these two pour souls were at an art gallery and not at the lane at the time the mural photo was taken.
