Here is a beautiful occurrence of expression (the link is to Facebook, so you will have to sign in most likely to really explore the page. 'Like' it if you feel so called!). An expression of resistance, political messages, the feelings of the youth, etc. - which has surfaced after the revolution here in Egypt and continued to strengthen in occurrence throughout the ongoing events.
This manifestation is of course, if you followed the link above, graffiti art. If you have kept up to date with current events here at all the art pieces paint a beautiful portrait telling of real lives, real events, real struggles, losses, and victories. They tell of tears and bullets and poverty. They tell of martyrs, as they are known for the most part in Egypt, and they tell of survivors with two eyes and they tell of survivors with one eye, the other being lost to bird shot being employed by the armed forces. They might even tell of one or two survivors with no eyes to see with at all now. They tell of some of the most amazing things that the world has witnessed in the past year.
Enjoy.
