Inscription.

This mural was painted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. A circle frames the faces of the 14 victims with the youngest in the centre. The circle is the symbol of wholeness, the goal of the healing process. Fourteen oak leaves, the symbol of the city, surround the circle. The soft red colours convey sadness rather than anger.

In the evening light with the sun shining directly on it, it can be very moving, even for us who painted it.

Erected 1997 by The Bogside Artists.
