Above (Graffiti)
Everyone's seen an arrow pointing up before, without thinking much of it, but when you're confronted with a painted arrow on the wall, or moving down on a truck, you start to wonder what does it mean.

'Above' started off spray painting his name on goods trains in California (USA). As a student in Paris, he covered the city with arrows, using a variety of techniques including stickers, stencils, and stamps. Back in the USA, he hung arrows on cables in his town like old shoes, to represent the power and energy that you're capable of unlocking within yourself.
