(pictured: failed initial construction site of the portrait of Sara. Red circle indicates location) The portrait of Sara was destroyed, and construction was halted. The Chidouins planned to wait until the void dissipated to rebuild, however as they were waiting an entirely new canvas emerged on the right. The Chidouins quickly moved to secure a spot at (1838,119) as their new home thanks to a user’s recommendation. After peaceful negotiations with several neighbors, as well as several wars (including the now infamous “battle of Sara’s tears”), Sara was able to successfully be built at the location. She was able to stay there until the very end of r/place, and undergone some changes in her design along the way, both intentional and not. ultimately the presence and perseverance of the portrait is a massive success for the community and kept morale extremely high for the community for the duration of r/place.
