New York - Asharq Al-Awsat
In a city whose streets lack vivacity and social life, graffiti has become a "mean to emphasize existence amid a prevailing impression that New York died" after the pandemic. As dusk becomes nightfall, graffiti artist Saynosleep takes a quick look around and then gets to work on a luxury store closed since it was looted during protests.
The anonymous 40-year-old artist, who uses a different pseudonym for his artwork, said: "There has never been a time like this."
