Rise of Artificial.
Ngl that rain took ages to edit in. Pretty happy with the result though!
Also, fun fact; the name of this pic signifies 2 things hehe: Rise of Artificial, which is one of my fav oldschool underground bands from my home country, and "roua" means morning dew in my mother tongue. ROA is an acronym for the band, and the same way you pronounce "roua".

ROA is the pseudonym of an anonymous, contemporary street art artist from Ghent, Belgium. He is believed to have been born in 1976. His works have been painted on buildings in various cities in Europe, the United States, South America, Africa, Asia and Australia. He regularly participates in street art festivals and collaborates with galleries worldwide from time to time. However, very little is known about this anonymous artist. He believes that his work speaks for itself. He invariably avoids any form of contact with the media and is hardly attracted to interviews. In this way he says he keeps his work and mind free. ROA gained international fame in 2010 when he painted a giant 3.5m high rabbit on the side wall of a recording studio in Hackney, London. Despite the fact that the work was commissioned by the owner, it was discredited. The Hackney local council found that the mural detracted from the streetscape and decided that the mural should be removed. Both the owner of the recording studio and various residents of the building contested this decision. A campaign called "Save The Rabbit" was launched to protest the decision. This campaign was widely acclaimed and attracted media interest. Ultimately, the council withdrew its decision. To this day, the rabbit can still be found at the recording studio.

Until 1847 Roa Island was a true island, being accessible only by boat, or on foot across the sands at low tide. John Abel Smith, a London banker, bought Roa in 1840. He built a causeway to the mainland, completed in 1846, and an 810-foot (247 m) deep-water pier known as Piel Pier from where steamers sailed to Fleetwood. The pier connected with the Furness Railway line to Kirkby via Furness Abbey, making use of the causeway. Initially the line was open for goods traffic only, but on 24 August 1846 a passenger service was inaugurated.
Over the years there was much disagreement between Smith and the Furness Railway. At one point the railway company set up its own steamer service to Piel Pier, but following a dispute with Smith, diverted the sailings to nearby Barrow. Eventually Smith was able to obtain an injunction for its return to the pier. In due course, however, Smith and the Furness Railway settled their differences and in 1852 the railway agreed to buy the lease for the entire Roa Island estate. Before the deal could be completed a freak storm caused extensive damage to the pier. This allowed the railway to buy all the rights and the property for only £15,000. Piel Pier was demolished in 1891 following changes to the course of Piel Channel which resulted in silting up of the area around the end of the pier. The railway continued in use until July 1936.
Today there is little obvious trace of it, though many of the stones that form the sides of the causeway are actually square stone sleepers from the railway. A road linking Roa Island to Rampside has now taken the place of the railway tracks along the causeway.

و لأن رفيقة دربك الأُنثى الاجمل
, فلا اخافْ .. من نظراتك البعيده عني! إلتفت حولك ثم عُد بنظرك لي
عندها ستكتشف
اني انثى غير النساء و اني عبرت على كفوف الكثيرات
~ فـ تساقطن حين تسربت لهم رائحة العطر من شعري
وً لأني رفيقة دربك !
أسكنتُك عينآي بحب | أُغمٍضها فلا تعود ترى أحد غيري ,
أفتحها | لتُشآهد النسآءْ ~
فتصرخ بي !!
أغمضي عينآكِ .
Mural by the Belgian artist ROA on the parking tower at Edith Cavellstraat 70 in Ostend, created in April 2026 for the annual street art festival The Crystal Ship.
ROA paints animals. Large, black-and-white and meticulously detailed. Rabbits, birds, rodents: every muscle, every hair, every bone is spot on. ROA’s work can be found all over the world, but it all began in Ghent. He was already here in 2016, during the first edition of The Crystal Ship. His pyramid of rodents disappeared, but ROA returned. This time with a pyramid of seabirds and fishing birds.

Muurschildering van de Belgische kunstenaar ROA aan de Parkeertoren Edith Cavellstraat 70 in Oostende, gemaakt in april 2026 voor het jaarlijkse streetartfestival The Crystal Ship.
ROA schildert dieren. Groot, zwart-wit en precies. Konijnen, vogels, knaagdieren: elke spier, elk haartje, elk skelet klopt. ROA’s werk duikt overal ter wereld op, maar het begon in Gent. In 2016 was hij er al bij, tijdens de eerste editie van The Crystal Ship. Zijn piramide van knaagdieren verdween, maar ROA kwam terug. Deze keer met een piramide van zeevogels en vissende vogels.
