Yellow Tape Mural — Maadi, Egypt

I painted this façade in Maadi as part of a collaboration with a resident artist who had been working to bring more color and intention into the neighborhood. The wall had been sitting in a kind of suspended state — patched, sun‑worn, and carrying the memory of impact — and the community wanted something that felt more alive than the temporary fixes holding it together.

The mural uses the language of yellow tape as structure rather than warning. Lines cut across the surface like a new grid of possibility, redirecting attention and giving the façade a rhythm that shifts with the Cairo light. Working with the resident artist shaped the final form — their local knowledge, my visual system, both folding into the architecture instead of fighting it.

This wasn’t about covering damage. It was about transforming it through shared authorship. A façade reclaimed through color, collaboration, and a new visual frequency the neighborhood could claim as its own.
