INSPIRE

A few months back, I watched Exit Through the Gift Shop. It's a film supposedly by Banksy himself talking about the art of graffiti. The movie is full of graffiti artists' mission and their masterpieces. I found it inspiring that they actually have meanings and these people are actually trying to make a movement. It's not all for vandalism, just to ruin a pretty wall or disobey the law. The high isn't in there but in the campaign these graffiti artist are trying to do. Also, they are publicly sharing their art for everyone to see and enjoy. See Space Invader with his aliens made of rubic's cube, see Juliana Herrera who covers pot holes with colorful yarns, Banksy himself sending messages to the people. And so many more!

Now, once again this woman inspired me. Candy Chang inspired some people from New Orleans with this installation. It's a different type of a freedom wall. Somewhere you could put the number 1 task in your bucket list. Your goal, your life long dream. Something you've been dying to do. Or in this case it made you complete the sentence "BEFORE I DIE I WANT TO______". People have flocked to this abandoned house and many wants to have on in their town as well. (I was actually thinking of having one at school as well).

As simple as it is, it can be greatly inspiring. So how about you? What do you want before you die?

Before I die I want to LIVE IN PARIS.
