Wall of Tears: 50ft Brooklyn mural pays tribute to children killed in Gaza
- A 50-foot-long mural in Brooklyn memorializes Gaza's child victims, listing 18,457 names.
- Artist Phil Buehler collaborated with Radio Free Brooklyn to create the commemorative installation.
- The names are arranged to convey personal stories alongside the statistics.
- The installation opens as part of a broader dialogue on the Gaza war and its impact on civilians.
- Buehler hopes the mural prompts viewers to support affected families beyond viewing.
- The piece also includes photos and stories of individual children placed along the fence.
- The names reflect the order of deaths as recorded by Gaza health authorities.
- The project aims to raise empathy and awareness and encourage action.
- The Guardian and Washington Post provided data referenced for the installation.
