THE FINAL IMAGE

THE WALL

A self portrait perched on a tree. It depicts my face in an astonished manner. Through street art and painting on a wall with spray paints. I want other people to mainly understand the reason for placing the portrait perched upon a tree. It gives a birds eye view of our surroundings and that is what astonished me.
