6/366: stencil:face


This stencil is on the building in the previous picture. It appears about a dozen times on the building, often at unconventional heights.

Is that an abstract? Or am I just missing something?

It's a profile (looking to the right). You should see eyelashes, nose, lips, and chin on the right side.

Oh, I see, in the negative space. Is there supposed to be something further to the right that the profile is looking at?

I think you're looking at the wrong thing, still (though I see a silhouette figure in the white area). You see that little black piece jutting out (middle right)? That's the bottom of the nose. The free floating black glob just below that area is the mouth.
