We found this park with the statue of an angel with a broken hand and broken wing, I felt well represented what we were seeking this day. There was one piece we found that is part of an advertisement on the side of a building, now that is a way to use this talent, it was very cool.
We found some amazing and vibrant graffiti but looking at it, it was hard to decide what to think of it. Here is someone trying to have a voice in this world, in not exactly the best way to express ones self but still a voice. These spaces left abandoned and cheerless, someone had something to say. I admit I was a bit scared of the places we went, I did not stray far from the car. But as I looked closely at what someone out there did, I wondered why...
Many times I have seen graffiti and think that it is just awful and people should know better. But why do they do it, what are they trying to say? Who are these people? I just wanted to let them know, I saw it and wondered about them, I noticed.
"I have a past to honour and a future to nurture." C.N.B. - found on a garage door, Main st. Winnipeg (with minor spelling correction)
