Through this project, my intention is to illuminate the rich tapestry of urban expression that graces the capital city of Uruguay—Montevideo. Within this collection of photographs, each image unveils the vibrant interplay of colors, textures, and narratives intricately woven by the artists who leave their mark on these urban canvases. By documenting the graffiti culture of Montevideo, I extend an invitation to viewers to embrace the indomitable spirit of creativity thriving within its streets, encouraging them to delve into the unfiltered voices that shape the city's visual narrative.
