The left mural, located in Cardiff, Wales, features a hyper-realistic eye with a blue iris and a reflection of Kyiv's skyline under smoke, set against a background of blue and yellow, symbolizing the Ukrainian flag. The eye sheds a tear, symbolizing sorrow over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The right mural, found in Eccleston, England, depicts a similarly realistic eye with a reflective iris that captures the surrounding landscape.

The mural depicts a hyper-realistic blue eye with intricate details, including reflections of buildings and a cloudy sky, giving the iris a glassy, lifelike quality. The wall's metallic surface, complete with rivets and industrial wear, adds a gritty backdrop to the artwork, making the eye appear as though it’s embedded in metal. Surrounding the eye are rust-colored splatters and scratches, enhancing the rugged and worn aesthetic. The artist's signature, 'My Dog Sighs,' is visible in the bottom right corner, blending with the wall’s urban textures.

My Dog Sighs: We’ve all sat and watched this hideous situation unfurl and while it’s not much, I wanted to do what I know best, (throwing paint) to highlight my sadness and anger over the Ukrainian invasion by Russia.
