Description ...Together We Are The Universe.

This 'U' person is driving me nuts!
These writings/graffiti have started showing up all over Dubai of late.
I myself have discovered about four or five so far... and all of them were signed with a 'U'.
Could this be some Dubai based Banksy-ish Basquiat-esque character? (Thanks, makepictures )
Curiouser and curiouser!

Jumeirah - Dubai, U.A.E.

Some of his/her works that I've photographed:

 



Whoever you may be, 'U', keep up the good work!
And don't get arrested.

I love the colors, lighting- just everything about this picture technical-wise, but also the strong atmosphere of this piece really captured my attention. I think the quote on the wall is a really powerful message to all of us in the world, and I believe it really is true, because when not only one but all of the people in the world unite for a cause, then we can accomplish it- we thus 'become the universe'

MARX77 In reply to batmantoo [2014-05-18 13:55:49 +0000 UTC]

No. I'm me. And I've always been me.
Well, there was this one time when they had me playing the role of Jesus for an Easter play at Sunday school. 
Supposedly my performance was so intense that the audience was moved to tears.
The organizers were so impressed that they invited me play Christ again for their Christmas special, but I declined. 
I was 13 at the time, but I was smart enough to realize that you can pull off a Robert Powell-esque performance only once, before the audience is on to you.
