4 things to know

  1. She’s the artist’s wifeALL CAPS says the portrait at the centre is Hard13’s wife. With the spray can in her hand, she is “coloring her own path forward.” ALL CAPS
  2. The shapes are futuresThe festival reads the neon fragments as many possible paths ahead: “Rather than fixing a single destiny, he leaves room for infinite possibilities.” ALL CAPS
  3. Face firstA photo taken on the evening of 7 September shows only her face painted in detail; the rest is outlines and flat blocks of blue, yellow and black, with a cherry picker at the wall. A close-up from 13 September, the festival’s last day, shows the centre finished. Street Art Cities
