I resonate a lot with the way this article discusses street art. I agree with the idea that ethics should be considered in the aesthetic value of street art, as it is described in the article that in order to be street art, it has to be in conversation with the street. That means that what may be considered a poor ethical decision was taken into account and was a necessary choice for the piece to take on its full meaning and purpose, it would lose its value in a museum or a better environment. The illegality or controversial position of a piece of street art does not necessarily negatively affect its value, however, but it is important in its consideration as a piece.

How do you feel about the overall outcome of this piece in relation to your art making process? i like this project a lot as i feel that there was a nice concept behind it which is something that i like in my pieces that are not just observational practices, i feel this makes it stronger as a piece. In what way did you integrate your personal art practice into this project? my personal practice is very centered round self reflection and self portraiture and i let that influence the concept behind this project and the imagery within it. How did you challenge yourself creatively, conceptually and/or technically in the making of this piece? As someone who has never used photoshop it was very gratifying to create an entire fabricated space. i was really proud of how i used the brush tool to create a lighting effect around the candles as i created the wallpaper. Were there elements that made the completion of this piece either more difficult or felt not challenging enough?
