This tag is all over the city at the moment, and it really, really resonates with me.
I think the image and text itself is powerful, but it's the innocuous settings of there graffitis that are really interesting. 'Talk more' is a very direct, but for (i imagine) a lot of people, an almost painfully relevant instruction. We should all talk more, we should all talk to each other more. We're all muddling through this together and one day we're all going to die.


Talk More has made me start thinking about how the setting and placement of work can be just as important AS the work, especially if it's work with a emotional resonance. Seeing something when you don't expect to, or when your guard is down, or perhaps when you actually really, really need to is a powerful thing. It helps us feel less alone.
