This newest piece of italian artist BLU has been completed in Morocco near the border fences that are the separation barriers between the North Africa country and the Spanish city of Melilla.  As this area is has been the site of massive intrusions (with often tragic circumstances) of sub-Saharan people attempting illegally to enter Spain, and by extension the European Union, this re-rendering of the EU flag with barbed wire for stars and people as the blue field is particular poignant for what has become a political issue.
