1. Hidden Faces
A haunting group portrait emerges from the grime, with five distinct characters etched into the dust. Each face is expressive and unique, staring out like ghostly passengers behind imaginary windows.
2. Joker Behind Bars
A striking image of the Joker behind jail bars, recreated with high contrast by only removing dirt. His face is partially shadowed, and his hands hang through the imaginary bars.
3. Cheburashka Doodle
A light-hearted contrast to the other works: a simple sketch of Cheburashka, the iconic Russian cartoon character, smiles cheerfully through the dust.
4. Battlefield Scene
A detailed battlefield is revealed on this Transit van. Soldiers crouch behind terrain as others advance, with every element—from helmets to distant trees—scratched from dust.
5. Deep Sea Dive
Figures sink and float alongside sharks and sea creatures in this underwater fantasy. The composition moves diagonally, as if captured mid-descent.
6. King and Horse
This dramatic nighttime piece depicts a regal figure in a crown beside a stoic horse, both rendered in sharp contrast against the van’s darkened dirt layer.
7. Cyklop
A single large head rests with knees pulled in, arms wrapped around the legs. The style is minimalist but powerful, carved from dirt in long, careful strokes.
8. RoboCop with a Message
A robotic figure, resembling Robocop, stands next to large text reading “ALL CATS ARE BEAUTIFUL,”.
9. Castle Road
A whimsical castle looms in the distance down a long road, flanked by mountains and birds. It’s a fairytale etched into the back of a Sprinter van.
10. Stormtroopers in Transit
Stormtroopers line the interior of what looks like a futuristic subway, with perspective drawing you into the tunnel.
