Walking past the town’s courthouse, one is exposed to this piece of 3-D graffiti. Once entering the immediate downtown of Decatur, the city’s culture truly comes out. There are many small businesses that seem t cater to the youth of the town and this structure is a reflection of its mood. From a frontal view, their is an illusion that this is just a very large wall where someone has vandalized it however from the side its true intention is seen. The structure serves as a bench for many of the passing residents of the town as the walk to the nearby park. The very fact that this is a city mandated structure shows the importance the city has for “urban and hip” culture. Even though though the actual word that is spelled out cant be seen, the sheer colors and unorthodox structures on the graffiti bench are very inviting and I was happy to take a break from taking pictures to take a seat.
