15 x 20 inches.

The "Fast Shipping Market Street Vibration Series [WznIqlps]" piece depicts two street performers in San Francisco, engrossed in creating rhythm and sound on their drums. The detailed graphite or monochromatic rendering captures the essence of their expressions, gestures, and instruments, along with the textured elements of their surroundings. The performers are shown seated on simple crates and surrounded by items like a cloth bag and a tin can, adding authenticity and grounding the artwork in the vibrancy of street culture.

The composition is enhanced with collage-like text fragments reading, "Preserving the spirit of San Francisco," "Finding a spot on Market Street," and "for Public Art and Sound," emphasizing themes of urban artistry, community, and the cultural significance of music in public spaces. The piece evokes the lively spirit of Market Street, known for its dynamic atmosphere and diverse sounds.

This work feels both documentary and expressive. It celebrates the unique energy of street performances while highlighting the importance of preserving artistic spaces in urban landscapes.
