Description
Graffiti piece with slight influence of bubble style, which reads "SEND." Primarily green with red, with shape accents which include several instances of two interlocking circles. A portrait head done in white with black contours is seen to the left. The hatted figure points with its right hand with an extended pointer finger to the piece.
This graffiti work was created on public property, below Rosa Parks Drive and W. Lafayette. The property was established as part of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy in May, 2023, along the Southwest Greenway. The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy has opted to preserve the graffiti, to the extent possible, and has renamed the area “The Yard Graffiti Museum.” This work has been identified, photographed, and cataloged by contributor “attng3tr,” and corresponding documentation was produced and published by Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. It should be emphasized, however, that the initial work was done by a single graffiti artist, listed here as the Creator.
