Project Overview
A bold and confrontational cushion series capturing the raw energy of street art and graffiti culture. Centered on piercing eyes emerging from textured walls of chaotic color and layered tags, this collection transforms visual rebellion into home statement pieces. Designed for modern, industrial, or urban-styled spaces seeking intensity, emotion, and unapologetic edge.
Year of Completion: 2025
Status: Active
Graphic Design
Each cushion presents a powerful street-art portrait with hyper-focused eyes surrounded by expressive splashes, neon scrawls, and graffiti overlays. The distressed textures and spray-paint drips are preserved in high-resolution printing on canvas-like fabric, giving the pieces an authentic, worn-wall aesthetic reminiscent of abandoned buildings and city corners.
