Guerrilla-style drawn characters with iconic overtones, emotions that demonstrate their identity and intention within the parameters of the objects they regulate, such as billboards and signs, these graffiti (graffiti) are vestiges of the human consciousness left behind in the city. An existence with no permanence, but is likely to remain as a transient reminder of the city. The rapid strokes of graffiti are carved into wood suspending its time by transforming it into a sculpture. The city’s memories will be embedded into sculptures, preserving them as records of the city.
