Siddharthas. Dhear, Part1.

A couple of moths ago, Dhear, a young artist from Mexico City started a project named Siddharthas with the support of Border, Adidas, and MTN. Siddharthas is the perspective of Dhear about the book Siddhartha, a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian man named Siddhartha. Dhear is painting his perspective about this book over the walls, inside and outside of Mexico City. this is just the beginning of an amazing project.

El proyecto consiste en hacer un viaje iniciatico ilustrando la historia de siddhartha de Herman Hesse a partir de mi universo de personajes fantasticos y alienigenas, por medio de murales en diferentes lugares, al unirse todas las fotos la historia tendra un sentido y una busqueda espiritual personal.

Room.

Las ciudades no están terminadas; sus calles, muros, edificios y efigies lucen incompletas y así funcionan. Sobran contrucciones en este laberinto mal hecho. Entender a los ciudadanos como obras negras, inacabados, que avanzan rumbo a sus empleos, familias e infiernos. Atrapados en una rutina: nacer, crecer, reproducirse y morir. Y entre cada una de esas rutinas, más rutinas: trabajar, no dormir, encontrar el amor, etc.
Estamos entre paredes, atrapados y condenados a desgastarnos para permanecer con un objetivo claro: la lenta destrucción.

-Smithe.

Juntos por siempre. Nacido para abultar. Estas embarazada. Cocinando El pan de cada día. Autoretrato. Ciclo laboral. Un producto más. Jubilación. Escena acostumbrada. Sistema óseo.Sin descanso.

Sandwriting

It is probably the biggest tag in the world. And it’s -surprisingly- made by a wealthy sheikh. He has written his name on the surface of his own private island (United Arab Emirates ) so big it can be seen from Google map. The letters seem to be a full kilometer tall in some places.
