Melting Mural in Chișinău Alley

by Danielle McGowan

Flat noon light strikes the shuttered arcade in Chișinău, casting sharp reflections from passing buses and glass windows onto the alley floor. An old mural, partially obscured by fresh graffiti tags, dominates the brick wall. The painted figures appear to lose their structural integrity at the bottom, dripping downward as if made of hot wax. Thick, colorful pools of paint gather on the concrete curb, defying gravity while the surrounding trash and dry leaves scatter in the wind. The rigid bricks remain solid, against the fluid distortion of the artwork. A streak of blue paint merges seamlessly with the gray pavement at the base of the wall.
