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. https://streetartcities.com/media/3/3af4b8df-5855-419e-962e-d2e2daacd5f3/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/f3feb04e-5338-4df6-b580-457238097268/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="Artwork by Jacob Yikes"></iframe> 3600
