Mercy Street - Revisited

Looking down on empty streets all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid, the dreams made real
All of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just just a dream in somebodies head...

Perhaps one of Peter Gabriel's prettiest songs. You can view a particularly touching rendition performed by the incredibly talented Happy Rhodes here: [link]

This piece is dedicated to my cousin and many other women who are alive today because of the dreams made real through advances made in breast cancer research...and also to the thousands of women affected by this disease every year who now have cause for hope thanks to the support of initiatives like this one: [link]

EDIT: I didn't like the quality on the original render but wanted to get this piece in before the weekend. I've since had a chance to re-tweak a higher quality work that I'm now comfortable submitting as a print. This version was done entirely with Apo with only brightness and contrast adjusted in the post-work. I'm going to move the original render into scraps and keep it as my new avatar for a while.


Thanks
