Boris Tellegen Tellegen Tellegen's work at NDSM, known in the graffiti world as DELTA, consists of three large blocks of letters. The artwork can be seen as a crossover between architecture and street art where typography and fonts are played in a spatial way. The work has the enigmatic title: Mlem-Uhha.

Through his studies in industrial design, Tellegen was previously inspired to turn his graffiti work into sculptures in three dimensions. With Mlem-Uhha, he goes one step further and turns the sculptures into an immense spatial installation. By stacking and cutting smartly and tightly, he transforms three oblong blocks into cartoonish cries. The words or cries come from a sample library of so-called onomatopoeia: words that phonetically mimic the sound they describe.
