DESCRIPTION
We communicate through many channels: some formal, others less so. Graffiti exists on the fringes of society, the edgelands, the borders. It's the voice of the voiceless. It can be used to claim territory, to tell stories, or sometimes just for fun. In this short visual story, i explore twelve facets of graffiti, each one accompanied by a different piece of street art.

Graffiti: the stories we tell
A voice when all other voices fall silent
Strong characters telling visual stories
Graffiti can claim territory, or just an idea
Sometimes it just makes you smile
Sometimes it feels like a plea
Or a comment on society
Graffiti references the mainstream
But sits outside it:
A language for the
edgelands.
The borders.
Naive?
Vibrant
Graffiti: stories freely shared, for us to create meaning
