Symbols of knowledge and ideas appear on the walls of a school in Bulgaria

2023. Nov. 16. | Community

Taker combined a stack of books and a light bulb with his usual splash effects. The idea is not too complicated: the books as knowledge and the light bulb as a symbol of thoughts and ideas, showing their connection.

This design is an older one, made for a request from Hungary, where education was the theme, and after Taker sent the visual design the client ghosted it and never got a response. The artist has received several comments saying that it would be nice to see his work in Hungary, so this could have been a home-made work, but it wasn't.

So Taker on the wall of the Petőfi Sándor Vocational School in Razgrad, in the northeast of Bulgaria.

How cool is it to see your favourite American producer while you're waiting for the tram, and then find yourself on the set of his film the next day as a street art designer.
