This image was painted in Spain, near a storm drain. This image is meant to communicate mainly the artists viewpoint of the direction the world is heading. I believe this is a great representation of that worldview. In my journal section, I wrote a part about the importance of site specificity. Would this image have the same effect if it was on canvas and placed within a gallery? I would say that it would not. It might get interpreted as the world melting or something similar, but not that the world was going down the drain. So for me this image shows that street art must draw its meaning from the material in which it is placed or made from.
