Torn Abstractions

Torn posters, paste-ups, and weathered textures create accidental collages that speak to both impermanence and resistance in the city. Each ripped edge or faded color tells a story of artists affirming their presence, of time eroding, and of a city constantly rewriting itself. The Lower East Side, with its gritty walls and rich street culture, becomes a living gallery where the spontaneous meets the political, and photographing these moments captures a fleeting dialogue between art, decay, and urban life.
