🖼✍️🏾reposted from @guardian_us The Wall of Tears is a massive art installation paying homage to the 18,457 children killed in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and 19 July 2025.
Created by artist #PhilBuehler @pwbuehler it opened next to Pine Box Rock Shop bar at 12 Grattan Street in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday.
Made of waterproof and UV-coated vinyl, the 50ft long, 10ft tall sand-coloured mural lists the children killed in Gaza by the order in which they died, based on data from the Gaza health ministry.
“If you approach from a distance, it looks like almost an abstract painting and that draws people in to see, what is that?” Buehler, 69, says by phone.
“Then you’ll see they’re names of the children killed in Gaza since 7 October and there are thousands of them stretching down the block.”
Buehler has previously designed huge murals including Wall of Lies, displaying more than 20,000 lies told by Donald Trump during his first term as president
