Bubble gum is playful and nostalgic, reminding you of a bygone youth. Corner stores with racks of candy taller than you. Pinks, blues, and purples, all vying for your attention. “PICK ME” they say as you count the coins in your pocket. Decades later, you are taller than the racks, and the candy doesn’t draw you like it used to. But juxtaposed against a gray urban backdrop, you’re reminded of a simpler time as you notice the bubble gum color scheme revealing itself in the most peculiar place—graffiti.
