休斯頓的“成為某人”塗鴉被MOG硬幣廣告覆蓋

著名的休斯頓地標（Houston Landmark

A renowned Houston landmark, the Union Pacific Bridge over Interstate 45, commonly known for its “Be Someone” graffiti, has been overwritten yet again with unauthorized artwork, this time promoting a cryptocurrency named Mog Coin.

著名的休斯頓地標，是45號州際公路上的聯合太平洋橋樑，以其“ Be Somey”塗鴉而聞名，再次被未經授權的藝術品覆蓋，這次是宣傳一種名為Mog Coin的加密貨幣。

The alteration of the iconic mural was spotted yesterday and captured in photographs, as reported by The Houston Chronicle.

如《休斯頓紀事報》報導，昨天發現了標誌性壁畫的改變並在照片中捕獲。

This isn’t a first for the mural, which has served as a canvas for various messages since its first inscribing in 2012, and which, over time, has included everything from anti-war sentiments to obscure conspiracy theories. The “Be Someone” artwork has indeed become a Houston staple for motorists traveling downtown on I-45 from the north side. Its message has long inspired residents and visitors.

自2012年首次銘刻以來，這並不是第一個壁畫，它一直是各種信息的畫布，隨著時間的流逝，它包括從反戰情緒到模糊的陰謀理論的所有內容。 “成為某人”的藝術品確實已成為休斯頓的主食，對於從北側I-45旅行的駕駛者來說，駕駛者。它的信息長期以來啟發了居民和遊客。

Despite past efforts to officially recognize the piece, including a 2018 petition that garnered over 16,000 signatures aiming to designate the graffiti as a city landmark, the mural has frequently found itself a target for defacement. This particular act of vandalism, changing the message to “Mog Coin,” is still shrouded in mystery with no clear indication whether the cryptocurrency has any real ties to the city, KHOU reported.

儘管過去努力正式承認這件作品，包括2018年的請願書，該請願書旨在將塗鴉指定為城市地標，但壁畫經常發現自己是污損的目標。 Khou報導說，這種特殊的破壞行為，將信息更改為“ Mog Coin”，仍然籠罩在神秘之中，沒有明確跡象表明加密貨幣是否與該市有任何真正的聯繫。

In previous years, the bridge has hosted a variety of painted alterations. Notably, in 2023, it served as a platform for activist Chandrika Metivie, who revised the sign to reflect messages such as “Woman, Life, Freedom,” and “No War Know Peace.” These changes were not without consequence, as Metivie faced felony criminal charges, only to have them dismissed in December, according to court records cited by The Houston Chronicle.

在過去的幾年中，這座橋已舉辦了各種繪畫改動。值得注意的是，在2023年，它是激進主義者Chandrika Metivie的平台，他修改了標誌，以反映諸如“女人，生活，自由”和“不知道和平的戰爭”之類的信息。根據《休斯頓紀事報》的法庭記錄，這些變化並非沒有後果，因為梅特維面臨重罪刑事指控，只是在12月被解僱。

Despite the recurring acts to undesirably alter its appearance, the “Be Someone” graffiti continues to resonate with Houstonians and represents a special piece of the city’s culture. The recurring nature of the graffiti’s defacement can be seen, perhaps, as a reflection of the dynamic and constantly evolving landscape of urban art and dialogue.

儘管反復發生的行為不可思議地改變了其外觀，但“成為某人”的塗鴉仍引起休斯頓人的共鳴，並代表了該市文化的一部分。也許可以將塗鴉污損的反復出現，這是對城市藝術和對話的動態和不斷發展的景觀的反映。

However, questions still loom about whether this latest iteration, “Mog Coin,” will soon be painted over to return the mural to its original and motivational “Be Someone” directive, as reported by KHOU.

但是，正如Khou報導的那樣，關於最新的迭代“ Mog Coin”是否會很快將其歸還其原始和激勵的“成為某人”指令的問題仍然存在問題。
