The material here is poster matter pulled off public surfaces — accumulated layers from city walls where things have been pasted, weathered, torn, and pasted over again. What does the work is color in the raw form it arrived in, mass-produced and now stripped of whatever it was for.
Each poster layer once carried someone's intention: to invite, inform, persuade. The title points to these impulses. Through collection and recomposition, individual messages dissolve into illegibility. What remains are color fragments that no longer serve any advertisement or announcement but form a new whole of their own. The calls have gone yet the wanting still runs strong.
These works function as cross-sections of a specific environment's visual language. I use posters from the recent past: the print tones, graphic rhythms, and material textures reflect the time and place where they were sourced. A work composed from one city's poster layers reads differently from one built from another's, not through any intentional reference but because each location produces its own raw visual vocabulary.
These dense, layered color fields work as material metaphors for collective memory. Every layer is evidence of someone trying to reach other people. That impulse is close to what defines us as a species and what has carried us this far. Here it has been compressed into surfaces where intentions merge into a shared unconscious.
What the work makes visible is collective drive. The push behind every poster is the same one that built language and keeps people inventing things. Each layer in the work is a moment when that drive was passing through someone.
