Graffiti--Michigan--Detroit--21st century.

The fill of the letters is painted a dripping light golden yellow at the top and an orange-red. The top edge of the letters are highlighted using a thin white line. The letters are outlined using a deep purple-black. A deep shadow decorated with several lighter parallel purple lines fall away from the front face of the letters and this creates a strong sense of three-dimensionality to the piece. Directly next to the purple-black outline two outlines, the first one in light teal and a the next in a deep teal. Several tags are present starting from the left center and working clockwise these consist of a tag reading "Tead" with a halo in rust colored paint. Next is "Snoe" also painted using rust. Next in white is "Suber" with what appears to be a halo above the "u". Beneath this is a medium brown paint reading "RAWR". In the top right corner in white paint "RA" / "DFW", at the bottom right in medium brown "Mac / tens", and finally, at the bottom left in the same color "2021".
