I am attracted to graffiti writing, just I am attracted to Persian writing. I can read neither, but the gestural quality of each speaks to me.

Painted out graffiti writing on wall is called buff. I superimposed gestural drawings (a la graffiti writing) photos of these walls. Then, I letterpress printed statements by well-known graffiti writers onto those layered digital images.
