“Urban Communication” series - Once, I lived in a horrible neighborhood the illusion of peace. I was on my way to college. The streets were white
in Chicago. Streets were full of violence at night and garbage during and empty. All of a sudden, the sun hit the sky, and I witnessed the most
the day. Broken sidewalks, metal gates, fallen fences, broken cans and beautiful spark of light going through the green glass beer bottles, lying
bottles were everywhere. It was such a depressing place. That was all naked in the fresh white snow. At that moment, I felt a breath of hope,
I could afford at the time. One winter afternoon, the first snow, like an that there is a “light in the darkness” and my “Urban Communication”
artist, performed its magic and covered all the dirt and garbage, painting sculpture project began thereafter.
