Placing stickers and graffiti on buildings is a popular form of street art that has become a hallmark of urban landscapes. The act of placing stickers and graffiti on buildings is often seen as a form of rebellion against the established order, and a way for artists and activists to express their political, social, and artistic ideas in a public space. The colorful and often provocative designs and messages can add a sense of vibrancy and edginess to the urban environment, making the mundane and often oppressive urban landscape more visually interesting and engaging.I wanted to take stickers and graffiti I found around the city and recreate my own montage of street art in commercial spaces.
