What makes up a cityscape? Steel frames, concrete structures, an assortment of vehicles, the daily bustle... take a closer look and a whole different landscape unfolds. Letters and images pop out of surfaces, peer through cracks, and for a time, one word pops out amidst it all: NUNO.

There are stories written all over the city. Art is one of the streets' most prolific authors. His letters, written on steel and concrete surfaces, brave the elements and bear witness to the passing of time.
The best performances are the ones that forge a bond between the performer and the audience—an intimate, sometimes chaotic moment. Justin grew accustomed to this intimacy, as he’s caught it many times through his lens, in all its raw glory.

One minute I'm laughing at Snapchat pranks and Tiktok videos; the next, terrified as clips of social unrest and overcrowded hospitals fill my Facebook feed. I've sent out quite a few messages and links in between; new findings about the virus to friends and family threads, warning them to be wary of fake information spreading online. This erratic behavior ensued for hours, as i jump from meme to news page, entertainment news to documentaries, emails and messaging apps, back and forth.

After a few more failed attempts i threw my phone down and sighed, cursing in the dark as i lay in bed. I figured our internet connection is down again. It's been f**kin up lately, didn't even bother checking the router.

Color adds life to the mundane; even the simplest of objects can turn into portals to another world. Cru's penchant for color and form makes for this kind of magical transformation—a whimsical take on an otherwise normal environment.
