A barber shop above the ContestaRockHair salon in Shanghai, dressed as Victorian and then quietly undermined. I designed and printed a light grey wallpaper for the whole room, then airbrushed trompe l’œil over it so the walls appear to be peeling back to something older underneath. A fake surface faking its own decay. The shop is still there.

The bathroom got the opposite treatment. A stencil mural of high-rise blocks in purple, street-art logic applied to the one room where nobody is watching you look at it. Shanghai skyline indoors, at the scale of a restroom wall.
