Absolution

.
Forgive

Another building in the same district as the last few days' photos.

I like the ambiguity of the message. Forgive who, and for what? Maybe it's about the Christian and Buddhist principle of compassion. Could be about what we've allowed to happen to this part of our city. Or maybe the graffiti writer is asking for mercy as to his or her own sins.

  1. Forgive- a good messsage whatever is behind it.

  2. That looks like a dangerous place to put graffiti. I would have preferred a message of tolerance to one of forgiveness, but forgiveness is good, too.
