Phrases such as “Inner Peace,” “Weaving Hope” and “Your Indifference Also Contaminates” can be read in the streets of the country where his multiple creations are. Also, we can observe the perfect balance between messages, colors, and shapes. That is how he takes over the public spaces, and incites the spectators to stop and analyze the transformation of that empty old place.
