Barcelona Las Ramblas Attack, Juan Miro Artwork
The Barcelona attack on Las Ramblas is analyzed as a symbolic event targeting Catalonia's independence movement. Ole Dammegard observes that the van stopped directly on a mosaic by artist Juan Miró. He links the imagery of a suspect holding an orange to classical paintings of the Virgin Mary, suggesting a ritualistic element. He also questions the reported 30 different nationalities among the 13 victims.
