Untitled: SpY

Madrid-based artist SpY painted a huge Swastika on the pillars of the water tank for the Sassoon Dock Art Project.

Known for appropriation of urban elements through transformation or replication, the artist's red Swastika attempts to highlight the original meaning of the symbol. While the symbol has been used across the world by many cultures, it is rooted in the Sanskrit word ‘Swati ’, which translates to well-being, good luck, success and prosperity.
