This is the upper part of a mural I spotted on Rue St. Denis while in Montreal recently. A cloud of glyphs pulsates with life.
There’s a playful Pac-Man-like quality to the forms and not all of them seem to be letters. Some are more like strange creatures.
The design teases us with the possibility of meaning, but I doubt it’s intended to make much sense. Can you discover a message here?

Fascinating design! Some appear as letters and others like birds. Thanks for sharing.

My pleasure! Thanks for your comment, Henry. You’re right, there seem to be some birds in the mix. A lot of beaks happening.

It looks like our world being put upside down :) the black part on top are the concrete jungle, the lower part are the Sun, cloud, sky… I like the sunbeam, white birds and the colour layers

Hi Andy, thanks for your comment. Yes, it’s like a city in the air, isn’t it? Now I am thinking of the movie Howl’s Moving Castle.
