The painting is a mural in Bushwick, Brooklyn NY, part of the Morgan Walls series, organized by Arts in Action Corporation, a non profit for the arts. Uta Brauser is the executive director and coordinator of the mural program.
The original painting is: 12 foot x 10 foot, Morgan Ave x Harrison Place, Brooklyn. Acrylic and spray paint on cement wall. The mural was painted over by a graffiti artist in the claim of public wall space tradition.
This FRIDA KAHLO painting depicts her as the queen of selfies, before the existence of smart phones, therefore she holds a paint brush.

by Uta Brauser, 2015, 5′ x 4′ Stretched Canvas. Time flux reminds of the time limitation our human life on earth has.
