The artwork titled “Requiem,” created by artist Lee Quinones in 1999, belongs to the street art movement and falls under the genre of graffiti.
The artwork is depicted on the side of a building, utilizing a significant portion of the wall as its canvas. It features predominantly the outlines of a helicopter, with a suggestion of two human hands depicted below, showcasing a fusion of mechanical and human elements. Above the helicopter, vibrant green and hints of blue in abstract forms appear to be emanating outwards, contributing to the dynamic feel of the composition. The mural is in an unfinished state, revealing the process behind such large-scale artistic interventions often seen in street art. The use of the building’s architectural elements integrates seamlessly into the artwork, lending it a sense of scale and presence.
