A Trip to the Corner
Shooting street art on buildings, I find something new every time I turn a corner. I became intrigued by the juxtaposition of the murals with each other along with the architecture and the people in the neighborhood.
This series of photographs was taken on a single afternoon in the Kaka’ako section of Honolulu, where walls as canvases are assigned to artists from Hawai‘i and around the world as part of the Pow!Wow! Festival that brightens the cityscape (annually since 2011).
No Photoshop here. Each image was taken from a street corner as I tried to center the two murals and align the building’s edge vertically in my frame.
I like how two different artists, painting two different facades of the same structure, come together (or don’t) … sometimes blending, sometimes complementing, and sometimes ignoring each other.
