#Repost @missdhutch ・・・ The subject of this photo interested me for all of its shades of grey. This ‘Dharma Mural’ is an inspiring and stunning work of art by renowned muralist Rigel Juratovac (aka #crayone) *and* it was commissioned by arguably the most cold-hearted landlord in the Mission, Kaushik Dattani. The dirty empty lot that allows the mural to be visible was once a neglected low-income apartment building that burned down in 2015 killing one and leaving 65 homeless. This prime location remains undeveloped as the lawsuits drag on. The subjects of the mural are inspiring religious leaders and social activists who brought about great change with their actions and words, *and* they were also human beings with shadow sides just like anyone else. That doesn’t take away from the good they accomplished. Life is like that. It is not all black and white. Virtue and evil. Beauty and anguish. Light and shadow. The truth lies somewhere in the shades of grey. - - For this week’s #52Frames challenge ‘blessing’. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #52frames_blessing #missdhutch_52frames #52framesphotographers #missionresident #sfstreetart #jj_urbanart #raw_streetart #tv_streetart #ihaveadream #mlk #ghandi #motherteresa #ceasarchavez #dharmamural #socialjustice #peacefulresistance (at Mission District, San Francisco) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gDwwZjFeW/?igshid=1tyf0sj9lshpo
