Since the Virginia Tech shootings, I've noticed this spray-painted girl on my way home every day. I HAVE to pass by it if I take the train home. And since, she just seems to get sadder and sadder with every progressive day. I wonder what the intention of the artist is and find it amazing how just a few strokes of a spray can evoke much emotion from me. I hope she realizes why she is so sad and finds happiness in the process... Would I be justified to turn her frown upside-down? How about some hair? The Sydney sun is quite bright sometimes.
I haven't seen any other of these creations, but apparently the artist has been busy in Newtown as well. She's been dubbed downcast girl. I think mine is experiencing a whole lot more despair. What do you think?
