The girl from CherryVegas Flickr series Tokyo Streets is a living graffiti wall. Her face is painted with the old Japanese text, linked to her family and their names. A female counterpart to the Chinese bodyartperfomer Zhang Huans script ritual. The whole face is complete aesthetic composed: it all at once blurred and distinct calligraphy works with the graphics, asymmetric hair, the artificial, crooked placed eyebrows and the ink around the mouth.
