In the intricate tapestry of urban expression, graffiti emerges as a mesmerizing palimpsest, embodying a rich saga woven
with the whispers of countless voices and narratives. Within the city streets, where concrete becomes canvas, each layer
of graffiti serves as a chapter in an ongoing story—a narrative of rebellion, political dissent, personal introspection,
or uninhibited creativity. These layers do not merely exist side by side; they engage in a vibrant dialogue, conversing,
arguing, and occasionally harmonizing. This dynamic interplay forms a bridge between past and present, as the imprints
of yesterday seamlessly merge with the visions of today, laying the groundwork for the expressions of tomorrow. How can
we view graffiti's palimpsest nature as a positive vocabulary, not just disruptive? Can each mark be seen as an
authentic voice, not just destruction?
Freedom Of Expression (Creative Coding)
Graffiti screams liberation, a testament to unyielding expression in defiance of silence. It shouts truth, rebellion,
and resilience in strokes that echo through concrete jungles, a vibrant symphony of voices reclaiming their space.
What do you see? (Zine, Research, Website Design)
What draws your eye when you encounter graffiti? Is it the kaleidoscope of colors that seem to dance and blend, or
perhaps the bold and daring lines that carve out a narrative on the canvas of the urban landscape? In graffiti, do you
find a reflection of the artist's soul, expressing defiance, creativity, or a story untold?
Dialogue (Video, Website Design)
I aim to emphasize the individuality inherent within each layer of graffiti. Just as every voice holds its own power and
significance, so too does every mark on the wall. By highlighting this diversity, we gain a deeper appreciation for the
complexity and richness of the graffiti art form. I believe Palimpsest graffiti is not a kind of destruction but a pool
of voices where each mark, line, art and color has its particular value.
Digital Space (Website Design, Research)
In the digital space, I've crafted an online platform where individuals can showcase their voice "graffiti." The essence
of the website lies in its black-and-white design, with the vibrant colors of the artwork revealed upon hovering the
mouse over each piece. This interactive feature encourages the audience to appreciate and delve into every element
individually. The intention is to shed light on the distinct potency of each voice and layer within the artwork,
fostering awareness and appreciation.
