Living Proof Artist Edition Boosted

Boosting refers to the act of shoplifting items, typically from retail stores with an intent of reselling goods for profit. With deep connections to graffiti culture; it becomes a way of life and even an occupation. As a natural extension of the mentality shared by graffiti writers who often operate on the margins of society, boosting is a tradition that provides a means of survival and a maintenance of a certain lifestyle without relying on a conventional job.

While boosting may appear as mere theft, within the subculture of graffiti, it is seen as a resourceful adaptation and a tradition; challenging the very norms that dictate what is rightfully owned and by whom.
