Drips and masks, Hanoi, Vietnam, 2007

I thought the effect of the dripping paint and masked figure worked well together. The drips come from a hastily stenciled phone number for the contractor who once made repairs to this Hanoi building. The mask is intended to combat the air pollution that plagues all of Vietnam's cities. These stenciled numbers are seen all over Asia – it is as if the walls themselves are letting us know who last came to fix them.
