01 ABOUT THIS SERIES

Series story

Map · Mapbox · OpenStreetMap

Buildings don't stay empty. Once the owners leave, somebody else arrives. Walls that were blank become a record of who came through and when. Graffiti isn't vandalism on these surfaces , it's the only remaining evidence that anyone cared enough to be here.Urban spaces mid-collapse. The gap between what a building was built for and what it became.
