This impressive 53-meter-high artwork adorns the side of the Distinction Christchurch Hotel. The mural's creation involved approximately 300 liters of architectural paint and 350 cans of spray paint, taking three and a half weeks to finish. Jacob Yikes, a self-taught muralist with roots in graffiti, has been a significant figure in Christchurch's street art scene, especially in the post-earthquake revitalization efforts. He prefers his works to be open to interpretation, allowing viewers to derive their own meanings.","thumbnail_url":"https://streetartcities.com/media/3/3af4b8df-5855-419e-962e-d2e2daacd5f3/1024.jpg","thumbnail_width":1024,"width":480,"height":480,"html":"","cache_age":3600}
