Description
Fires, floods, earthquakes — climate change is now treated with urgency, its effects rendered legible to the Global North, legitimizing its reality. Urban environments of concrete and artificial climate control not only exacerbate ecological conditions but also serve as sites of human assertion and control. I inhabit one such city — an endless sprawl of infrastructure, marked by signs of territoriality and the desire for recognition.
Graffiti tags, repeated across neighbourhoods and cities, function as semiotic interventions: expressions of identity, affiliation, and subcultural presence. These symbolic inscriptions, often imposed on natural or organic landscapes, speak to a persistent human impulse — to be seen, to inscribe the self into public space.
Meanwhile, the organic world continues within its own cycles, unburdened by the existential weight of authorship or memory. One is left to wonder: will these oceans and coastlines persist, or will the graffiti outlive them?
