The artist captures life ’s fleeting moments and, in his or her work, tries to make something that will endure beyond death.

But all of XOOOOX’s street work is destined to be lost, due to weather, demolition or an unappreciative owner with a scrubbing brush.

How does he feel – I asked – about the inevitable destruction of his work?
