Festival Infinito
Hand Painted Lettering
The words I worked with may seem mysterious and meaningless at first glance, but they are an icon of the history of the Tower neighbourhood.
The main street of the neighbourhood was originally named Albatros street and was later renamed by the immigrant population to Kongo Street. In the composition, the word Kongo appears in the middle of Albatross, symbolizing something that was born from what was already there. The two words are represented in the same graphic style and painted in the same shades of gray, however, the central letters have a texture with splashes of paint to represent the new life, movement, and current colour of the neighbourhood. In particular, the colour brought by the infinite festival.
"404" is a widely recognized code within the Tower neighborhood, as it corresponds to the bus route that traverses its streets. This number has evolved into more than just a designation; it serves as a signature and identity for the locals, symbolizing the essence of the area.
