Art isn’t always about being beautiful and pleasing to the eye, often it’s made to stirs your heart, and evoke emotion like this European street art does. Featured here are several haunting images of people, including young children, who appear to be homeless in Paris, Rome, Austria, and London.

Artist Michael Aaron Williams tapes his images to various places around the world where they are sure to be seen, in some instances adding additional props such as 3D rose petals to attract more attention.

“I think the white roses mean a lot. The roses are also extremely ephemeral and show the innocence of the street shildren [sic] that are holding them and how fragile that innocence is,” Williams wrote on his blog. “These are some of the most powerful images that I have done.”
