Field notes
The page frames the work as a record of lettering on Malé’s façades, emphasizing worn surfaces, fading text, and traces of time. Its navigation includes a long list of street names, while the homepage description connects their disappearance to building replacement and newer road-name signposts. The work is attributed to Nifa.
