Agree with the war or disagree, I think this is a powerful image that brings the impacts home. A shadow on the street, something profound behind a simple sign. It is graffiti, sure, but it is far more social commentary than it is anything else.
The subject of graffiti often brings out strongly polarized reactions from urban dwellers, who either support it as art or criticize it as vandalism.
Like traditional graffiti and street art, light art comes in many forms. Unlike most graffiti, however, there is no one to complain about being tagged!
Cool, some one was thinking
Yes, this is definitely graffiti with real intention behind it … and far subtler than most I think.
This really says a lot, in a simple manner. Creativity at it’s best
Right to the point. I like it.
this is from my town!!!
…just thought i would throw that in there…
around town i see a million places where people have written “WAR” on stop signs but this takes things to a whole new level
Ah, good post – gave me something decent to read while I am bored at work. I’ll have to check your site out more often :) Thanks!
I have to agree that this is really a profound statement. I have never been a big fan of graffiti but in this case I think nearly everyone would have to give their ok for it to stay there at least a few days. Excellent blog by the way and thanks for visiting and commenting on LifeIsRisky. I have grabbed the feed and can’t wait to read more of your content I have missed.
