A conceptual project exploring calligraffiti as an art direction in the new perspective. Special perspective which doesn't have boundaries for typography and because of it, viewers can understand hand-lettered characters differently. Explore how letters interact with the space around them without disrupting it. And vice versa, how space around the characters can affect the whole perception of the piece.
“Take dark, dirty and abandoned warehouse, and add some 'light' to the space. In a metaphorical way present to viewers that in every dark space/time there's always a way to change it by adding just a tiny bit of 'light'. From artistic point of view explore new ways of creating without surface boundaries, and experimenting with space around the artist with transparent strokes.”
