When Walls Have Faces OF Their Own..



Only then, will the following statement be true; "ساعات أحس إني أكلم طوفه"

Haha, no but really, I give you Dan Bergeron's: Faces of the City, in which he attempts to give those shabby walls we pass by everyday some character. 






Street Art, Vandalism or Petty Entertainment for Passers-by?  





"Bergeron is best known for his subversive and thought-provoking public street installations. His most recent body of work, Faces of the City, juxtaposes the abrasive charm of the distressed surfaces of modern cities with the intimate familiarity of the human face. As the walls and surfaces of the city define its physical character and spatial identity, the faces of its inhabitants provide the city with its personality, disposition and magnetism. His fusion of the two explores the idea that beauty truly lies in the scars, wrinkles and blemishes of places we live and people we meet." from Show and Tell Gallery


What would be scandalous about this is whether if "الطوفه اترد عليك"/ the wall would reply back?

Personification at it's best.
