The inspiration for this piece came directly from the research developed in my journal, particularly my exploration of urban environments, street art, and expressive mark-making. I was interested in how layered visuals, text, and symbols can communicate meaning in a spontaneous and unfiltered way. During the process, I experimented with building up surfaces through spray paint, acrylic, and drawn elements, allowing each layer to inform the next. This approach encouraged a more intuitive way of working, where I responded to the piece as it developed rather than strictly planning the outcome. The process helped me understand how research can actively shape practical work, pushing me to take more risks and develop a stronger connection between concept and creation.
