For twelve days we’re presenting twelve wishes for 2012 as told by an alternating roster of artists and BSA readers, in no particular order. Together, they are a tiny snapshot of the people who are part of the street art scene around the world today. Individually, each adds their personal expression of hope for tomorrow.
Today’s wish comes from Israeli poet of the streets, Know Hope, whose prose is as prized as his figurative illustrations of people with tormented hearts in doorways and on walls. His wish for 2012 raises a white flag in the face of pride;
“My wish is a contemplative one, but not hesitant.”
To you from Know Hope © Know Hope
