Photo Essay - Vandalism, Graffiti and Reflection





We chose to have our theme of urban decay be about vandalism. Our sub theme was how the light reflects or plays a part in the picture and graffiti. The vandalism we found ranged from simple graffiti to smashed televisions and glass. Seeing vandalism is an every day thing, even if we don’t always notice it. The scenes we found may have been damaged and full of destruction, but we found a way to make it look more like art than a place of abandonment. 


The vandalism was located throughout the city and found in almost every place we looked and observed. From the tiniest tagging of a name, to a large area of colorful spray paint and unreadable words. Each place had it’s own form of vandalism where people defaced what they could with the tools the scenery provided.
