A 980km journey to honor the memory of Gabriel Cruz
Basque couple travel 16 hours in an old van to the site where eight-year-old Spanish boy was murdered
Graffiti artists Mikel Herrero and Olaia Chocarro, a couple from San Sebasti¨˘n in northern Spain, got behind the wheel of their old van on March 18 and drove 983 kilometers down to N¨Şjar, in the southern province of Almer¨Şa, with the goal of doing something to honor the memory of Gabriel Cruz, the eight-year-old boy who was recently murdered there, allegedly by his fatherˇŻs girlfriend.
The trip took them 16 hours, and a chance encounter with the boyˇŻs father led to the idea of creating a mural on the wall of GabrielˇŻs grandmotherˇŻs house ¨C the last place the child was seen alive. The project took three days to complete.
ˇ°It was a very heartfelt gesture. Gabriel deserves it,ˇ± says Herrero. ˇ°We are very happy, up on a cloud, over the impact our work has had on the family. ThatˇŻs what we value the most.ˇ±
