Description
“The Swan Memorial” — by Nikita Spires
On the 11th of May 2023, a pair of swans were cruelly killed and their eggs stolen at this very spot. In response, artist Nikita Spires created “The Swan Memorial” — a heartfelt tribute to their loss and a reminder of compassion for all living creatures.
The mural depicts two swans forming a heart, their white feathers melting into blue water to symbolise fading memory. Above them, a painted “like” icon comments on society’s fleeting attention, while a plaque beside the piece reads:
“The brush is mightier than the sword.”
Through this emotional work, Spires transforms tragedy into awareness — using art to advocate for empathy, remembrance, and change.

I’m passionate about street art and public murals, always exploring new cities and hidden corners to discover creative walls and inspiring artists. I love capturing the stories, techniques, and emotions behind each piece — from large-scale murals to small tags that add character to a place. My goal is to document and celebrate urban creativity while connecting people through art in public spaces.
