“A Love Letter to Syracuse is a tribute. It is meant to be from Syracuse to Syracuse.”

— STEVE POWERS

I had an opportunity to study the work of Steve Powers during my trip to Syracuse. His series of lettering on bridges (also found in Brooklyn and Philadelphia) are affectionately referred to as love letters. He came up with the messages by spending time listening to locals talk about their hometown. “Now That We Are Here, Nowhere Else Matters” speaks to hope and “Spring Comes, Summer Waits, Fall Leaves, Winter Longs” celebrates the intense seasons of Syracuse. He strategically targets “rust belt” areas in the hopes of transforming the neighborhoods. It is important to note that this is not graffiti, it is commissioned artwork by the City of Syracuse.
