My Entry to the CCC's Street Art Contest #212: "The Watcher"
You know that feeling when a certain day of the week just gets you pumped? For me, that’s the day I get to share my latest street art find! The CCC’s Street Art Contest kicks off today, and I’m super excited because I’ve already got a cool entry lined up. I stumbled upon this intriguing piece last Saturday, and right then and there, I knew it would be my submission for this week.
So, here’s how it went down. I was casually crossing the street... not exactly where I should have been, mind you. Yeah, I might’ve committed a little jaywalking offense. Not my proudest moment, but hey, I spotted this incredible piece of street art and couldn’t resist snapping a photo.
It’s not something I’d usually recommend, but I made sure the coast was clear before crossing.
Now, why did this particular street art grab my attention? Well, it’s this massive human figure with eyes that seem to stare right into your soul.
The way it’s positioned, it’s like the artwork is watching anyone who dares to cross the road—especially in a spot where you’re technically not supposed to. It’s almost as if it’s sending a silent warning: “Look both ways before you even think about crossing here.”
But don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying you should go out and start jaywalking. The message behind this art is pretty clear: don’t risk your life crossing where you shouldn’t, because someone’s always watching out for you, whether it’s this art or your own instincts. This area doesn’t have stop signs or crosswalks, so it’s really on you to stay safe.
I actually think it’s a clever way to raise awareness and prevent accidents. Sure, there are better ways to stop people from crossing illegally, but this artwork serves as a gentle reminder to prioritize your safety.
As much as I’d love to give credit to the artist behind this powerful piece, I couldn’t find any signature or clue about their identity. With such a stunning creation, it’s a mystery why they chose to stay anonymous.
Anyway, that’s my entry for this week’s contest. Hope you all enjoyed my little adventure and the story behind this street art find!

It seems that it was done recently or within this year (I guess).

Interesting how you describe the giant human hahah. But i gotta agree why did he stay anonymous, well lets see if he reply's to you lmao.
Also good luck with the contest😇
Hehehe !INDEED
If I have this kind of skill I would put my name on it but the artist probably prefer to be anonymous. Thanks for dropping by my post, have a great day!
No worries....accidently reply to the wrong one 😅
That’s fine 😊

Nice piece of art, but I can't get over your apologetic tone for jaywalking. Here in NYC, jaywalking is its own sport and something most locals do by force of habit. I'd like to think that when I cross the street, even Pythagoras would be proud of the distance I'm saving!
Thanks for the feedback! I guess jaywalking is one of those things that really depends on where you are. In NYC, it sounds like it's an art form in itself! But in Singapore, it could mean jail time for me, lol. 😄
!INDEED
Oh my, it is definitely NOT worth jail time! Smart play to be cautious, no wonder you were apologetic. We'll jaywalk right in front of the police, they have bigger issues to worry about.

Wow the wall painting is really nice, the location of the painting is seen by many people who by. Beautiful painting. Thank you. Greetings.
That’s right. It’s so huge that it’s visible from far.

Yes, I understand what you're saying, the same thing happens to me, but my problem begins from the day I discover the work
I think that the vast majority of people cross the street where they shouldn't, you don't have to worry
What a beautiful work you have found, I am impressed by the realism of its eyes.
I appreciate that you let us know about this precious discovery, dear friend @curamax
Thanks for your comment, !INDEED the street art is nice, especially the realism of it.
I feel lucky by finding this one 😊
