This picture appears to be a young girl who has been through some sort of trauma and is stricken since the event. There is what appears to be a crew of people either installing or performing maintenance on this work of art, one member is rappelling down the face of the image. The image appears to be situated on the banks of a river in an abandoned industrial zone of a large metropolitan city, this river is most likely a major transport artery for the city meaning that potentially thousands of commuters (potential audience) could see this image every day. The sheer size of this image is quite immense, measuring I would estimate it ranges at several square kilometers, an unprecedented scale for anything other than a large advertisement or billboard. The logistics of mounting this image to the building face had to be quite intriguing, I would guess that the image was broken up into numerous of smaller rectangles, each one being mounted independently of the others in the correct positioning to form the larger image.
