The Tenderloin is San Francisco’s inner city. Homeless people walk its streets by day and sleep on them by night. Yet the area is slowly becoming gentrified, and tourists cruise the neighborhood, too. This chaotic wall mural brightens a seedy street. It reaches out and absorbs passers-by, making them part of the urban scene as they pass. I layered this image with a white fire hydrant and police barricades in the foreground. The hydrant’s cap echoes the white cap on the person. And the sign on the barricades affirms their purpose – to keep people in check, restrict their movement, and control behavior. The barricades represent an attempt to maintain order in the midst of urban chaos. This person refuses to acknowledge their presence. The words on the sign may symbolize restrictions, yet the subject appears utterly unrestricted.
