This artwork is dedicated to the street race and takeovers that became one of LA’s trademark.

I ‘ve been fascinated by the topic within a sociology’s point of view. These street take overs are not a simple trend or phenomenon. They reflect an aspect of urban culture, a new way to gather people together. Something ancestral that survived - actually thrived - with the advent of social medias and the consequent shift in human relationships, especially among teenagers and young adults.
