“This photograph captures layers of urban life left behind—graffiti, defaced posters, and construction fencing all pointing to a space in transition. The repeated portraits, each vandalised differently, suggest something once familiar that’s now distorted or forgotten. The bold “RUMOR” tag hints at stories that are half-remembered or changed over time. Even the blurred passerby adds to the feeling that the city is always moving forward, leaving behind traces. It’s a visual record of how cities rewrite themselves, and how small details—often overlooked—carry the history of what used to be.”
