A satirical  tribute to the littered streets of Berlin, this series of 9 posters highlights an assortment of trash that I discovered about the city. The "wish you were here" phrase expresses the love/hate relationship many have with Berlin and other large, grimy cities-- the things we hate (e.g. filth, garbage, noise) are the same things we find endearing.

The first body of work I created in Berlin, this project started as a series of small drawings I created during our journey from the USA to Germany. While we were liv­ing out of suit­cases, I began to notice the com­po­si­tions of our folded and strewn under­wear, see­ing them as por­traits.  Upon our arrival in Berlin, I main­tained my inter­est in this sub­ject and decided to cre­ate a series with ref­er­ence to under­wear as portraits.
