Graffiti art as a form of expression draws people into this public space. This sort of art gallery encourages community members to interact with this urban landscape. These fantastical creations were painted over the last two days by local graffiti artists. I was lucky enough to capture their works in progress. 
Although the modern idea of visual art has evolved since the time of the late Renaissance, many of those ideas ring true today. Just as before, art was meant to decorate the public square or even to commemorate some meaningful event. The placement of these concrete slabs has allowed for artists to express themselves and transform the park's public function. Each layer of paint adds to the park's evolution, encouraging an open-ended interpretation by all viewers.
