Urban Art Graffiti - Follow Your Dreams (Cancelled)

In Follow Your Dreams (Cancelled), an exhausted, working class painter stands beside the painted words “Follow Your Dreams”, only to have his empowering message invalidated by a bold “CANCELLED” stamp sprawled across it. The work is a powerful commentary on class stratification in an historically low-income neighborhood of Boston. It is a harsh reminder that the “American Dream” does not always apply.
