Juxtaposing the sweet, eyes-wide expression of this young girl with the war images below is heartbreaking. Swoon buffed her own mural that had recently been defaced by some clueless soul who wrote “Sold to MOMA.” and blacked out the eyes. This is one of the pieces she pasted after the buffing.
This is what this wall looked like back in November 17, 2003.
See how it evolved through July 18, 2003 in this Flash Movie:
