Bustling Side Street at Rope Gallery

Navigating the streets of a city divided requires the skills of a Street Fighter™.

Emotions of years are accumulated and pressed into the walls and onto the subsequent canvas. Hiding in corners are victims and perpetrators.

A show of paintings, both on canvas and wall, that relate to characters reacting on a screen. Expressions and splatters of paint each both arrange themselves on the canvas as dancers would in a ballet. A Street Fighter kicks the air, unleashing her power and leveling up.
