The idea behind this series is to highlight my love of the ever changing, alive nature of graffiti art, even in the face of those who wish to mask it. They are only, truly, exemplifying and continuing the art form, unknowing as they may be, they are an important part of the documentary of living street art. My bearing witness to the cover up almost always brings me the similar sense of quietude and peace I feel when experiencing a Rothko.
