The world in the last days lives with the upcoming holiday on February 14, when lovers around the world once again confess their love to their soul mates. That's exactly for Valentine's Day American artist Michael Owen and timed his unusual graffiti project Baltimore Love Project.
On Valentine's Day, people confess their love not only to each other, but also, for example, to the cities in which they live. The latter, however, is mainly engaged in by artists. For example, Tracey Emin, who installed For all the lovers in NYC in Times Square, New York, or Michael Owen, who runs the Baltimore Love Project.
The essence of the Baltimore Love Project is to create on the streets of the American city of Baltimore a series of graffiti depicting the word “LOVE”.
Moreover, these are not just beautifully drawn letters. Michael Owen has designed his own logo dedicated to love. This logo is a monochrome inscription LOVE, created from images of human hands. Each palm is captured in such a gesture, when looking at which you can see the letters L, O, V and E.
There are more than a dozen similar graffiti created by Michael Owen in Baltimore. They are located in the most visible places of the city - on fences, end walls of houses and other similar surfaces. Moreover, each of these images is quite large - 5-7 meters in length and a couple of meters in height. So they can be seen from a fairly large distance.
Michael Owen explains the reason for creating these graffiti by his desire to remind people of the existence of Love, to encourage them to say good words to each other more often, to make gifts and to confess their deepest intimate feelings.
