This mural is on a wall at 116 Buchan Street, Sydenham. There didn’t seem to be any acknowledgement of the artist on the wall, but I’ve discovered it’s by Deow of Southland, and was created for the 2016 Spectrum Festival. It shows a woman striving and reaching up from the water, symbolising the will to rise up and push through hard times similar to how Christchurch city has done and will continue to do.
We all continue to push through
although it’s sometimes hard to do
I'd love to get your thoughts about this post.
