What do these textures and images symbolize, and what is the fundamental idea behind them?

Since the late 1990s, {ths} has been creating "graphic elements" for both his artwork and his work as a graphic designer, which are now commonly referred to as textures. These elements were typically created using photocopiers, misprints or experimental techniques, resulting in what we now call a gritty, grunge or grainy style. This style pervades {ths}'s entire body of work, as he has consistently gravitated towards somewhat "unclean" subject matter or stylistic choices.

Over the years, {ths} has amassed a considerable collection of such material, to the point where he could potentially offer complete product packages. {ths} has decided to make his collection available to other artists and designers so that they can use and, ideally, popularise this distinctive style. And yes, it's also a way to generate income. This comprehensive collection includes gritty typographic elements, patterns, lines, grids and symbols, all embodying the gritty/copier aesthetic {ths} is known for - the #swissgrit of textures.

While there are plenty of texture resources available from other vendors, they often lack a personal touch. What sets {ths}'s textures apart is that they come from his own personal collection, having been used on a large scale or in intricate detail in his previous artwork. They are carefully selected elements from {ths}'s archives, embodying unexpected treasures of raw, authentic character.

With these textures, you can give your own designs a nice gritty look.
