"Wa Make?" emerged from the need to create a visual language that represents youth language and youth culture. It focuses on showcasing a living, evolving culture. The project can be presented through various mediums, including 3D animations, graphic compositions, and printed stills. It introduces a new medium—3D software—to transform traditional street art like graffiti into something beyond its conventional form. This approach not only respects urban regulations but also encourages innovation in how youth culture can be represented and experienced within the city. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to a dynamic visual heritage that grows and evolves alongside its community.
