Close to the Wall

Close to the Wall is a study of intimacy within public expression, a photographic series that isolates the overlooked fragments of urban graffiti. Faces, brushstrokes, textures, and decay are framed in tight focus, detached from their original compositions and recontextualized as standalone works.

By getting close, physically and conceptually, I shift the viewer’s attention from the spectacle of street art to its quiet margins. Cracked surfaces become skin; layered paint becomes gesture. Each detail reveals tension between creation and erosion, authorship and reinterpretation.

This work is not documentation. It’s an act of re-seeing, a way of listening to what remains once the noise has faded.
