Bird with poppies

Description

From corona time to color and breathing space

The mural at Weesperplein in Amsterdam, created by @timrodermans and Roy Valk @karskione, has made way for a new artwork: the familiar mural featuring two figures wearing face masks.

A recognizable image from the corona period has now been replaced by a bird among bright red poppies.

A striking contrast: from distance and limitation to freedom and nature. That bird symbolizes not only freedom, but also something increasingly scarce in the city: space. Space to breathe, to see greenery, to pause for a moment.

At a time when every square meter is being used, this work of art is a calm but clear reminder of what is slowly disappearing from our streetscape (info by artists)

Took my first street art photo around 2012, I guess. Developed into a serious hobby over the years. Now trying to get my hometown Haarlem (and neighbouring cities Zandvoort and IJmuiden) on the street art map. 😉 Check my instagram feed for more street art: @iphonekees
