A work about the hidden beauty of New York City's street art

About

Hey there, welcome to Urban Layers!

I’m so thrilled to take you on this journey, revealing the intricate beauty of 3D-scanned stickers and graffiti lifted straight from the streets of the Big Apple. This collection is all about the overlooked artistry of public objects that have been touched by countless individuals, each leaving a part of their story on the city’s canvas.

I’ll let you in on a secret – these stickers and graffiti caught my eye more than any curated art piece in a swanky gallery. The raw, unrefined expression in each sticker spoke volumes, drawing me into the heart of a city-wide open-air exhibition. It was like stumbling into an unexpected conversation, full of life, spirit, and depth.

Behind the Scenes

Behind the Scenes

Riding the Pulse of Urban Art Creating the Urban Layers collection was a trip – I used a 3D scanning technique with my phone’s LiDAR sensor to capture the personality and charm of each stickered object. Then, I framed these objects within abstract, chrome-like shapes that mirror photos I took of the city, creating a vivid snapshot of our ever-changing urban space.

Tying it all together is the AR filter. This filter gives you the chance to step into the compelling world of street art, to see the beauty in everyday objects, and to appreciate them in a whole new light.
