Artist Saype, known for his murals around the world, unveiled on Friday a piece painted on rubble in the southern Turkish city Antakya, devastated by February's deadly quake.
The February 6 quake in Turkey and war-ravaged Syria killed more than 55,000 people and left thousands homeless and reliant on international assistance.
He decided to dedicate a project to the survivors of the earthquake on the ruins of the now unrecognisable ancient town. During the 16 days Saype was working on the piece, he met locals who had lived in tents and shipping containers for eight months since the disaster.
