Public Domain, explores the inclusivity of street art and how it changes over time. With her distinct formal sense, Brody has created photographic compositions that feature both commissioned and independent street art works found throughout Northeast and Central Florida (Jacksonville and neighboring cities).

Once thought of only as vandalism, street art has developed into its own art form, attracting private companies and city officials to commission “Public Art” works by street artists as a tool to promote tourism and rebirth of neighborhoods. The media utilized by these artists includes murals, wheat-pastes, sticker art, and graffiti tags. Street art often reflects the community’s local culture; religious beliefs; traditions, social standards and aspirations; and architectural styles, making each work unique to that certain location. Brody’s project highlights this specificity.
