Piece description from the artist
Last fall I visited Downtown LA, and got to see a bit of the architecture and city life. I've created several pieces based on my visit and the photos I took there, but this may be my favorite. I was passing a worn-out and heavily-tagged building that was under construction, and it sparked my imagination. I set my adaption at night instead of at dusk, when I took the reference photos. I wanted to imply heavy winds, and an unsettling sort of feeling. Heres the result, let me know your thoughts!
