“Uh, they’re toilet rolls,” Miel says plaintively.
Don’t ask us, we just report what we see. And really, this mural captured the attention of many on our site and social accounts – so it appeals to, or puzzles, many.
This year, the painter, who is one-half of Telmo Miel, gave us the background of this attenuated portrait placed upon an apartment complex. “I don’t know. I was photographing my son, um, and took these from him, uh, with him looking through the holes of the toilet rolls.” The sparrows fit nicely, he told us, possibly inspired by the themes of freedom, autonomy, nesting, and natural beauty. Later he looked at the shots of his son and decided to include him in triplicate.
