The use of spray paint as a medium is central to the success of this body of work. Spray paint is largely used for negative purposes. That is, individuals seeking to vandalize public spaces and express opinions that might be offensive resort to ‘tagging’ by using spray paint. The misty and hazy quality of the paint as it strikes the surface relates to the idea that the memory of these victims is beginning to vanish to the world. Even the fumes of the spray paint add to the emotional turmoil these individuals experienced. The underlying goal in my body of work, however, is to use spray paint in conjunction with spiritual text as a positive means to express hope.
