I love street art. It speaks volumes about the soul of a place – the history, the people, the socio-economic issues – and the area around Casablanca’s old Medina is no exception.

OMG, I adore those shots!
I think you have a particular good taste in composing.
Those street art manifestations are very interesting, they will remain there for a long time hopefully.

Thank you so much, you lovely comments about my work are very much appreciated! It was great to have ordinary people walking past murals about ordinary people while I was photographing them. Most of the passers by were oblivious that I was taking photos they were that preoccupied going about their day so a lot of it was luck. Or more like synchronicity I like to think 🙂

Thanks Jude. I didn’t see anything that compared in the other cities and I had such a ball photographing these that I went back again on my return to Casa.

Is the street art about hope for the future? Or is it about a failing society? What do you think–what feeling did you get while there?

I think it’s all open to interpretation. I saw folklore and magic in the overflowing teapot while the picture of the woman bent under the weight of the world said a lot to me about the role of women in Moroccan society.

On my first visit to the area – my second day in Morocco – I felt a little intimidated. When I revisited the area two weeks later I more or less blended in.
