Purpose of graffiti
|
Working like an ant, trying to escape from danger, in the middle of the night, the artists “paint” the city. At sunrise people can see through different eyes: full of joy, fun and art.
Graffiti is a form of vandalism and also a way of gangs could express their opinions using art codes and message throughout our urban and suburban fields of sight. They used only to define territories, where the highest and most difficult access spots are the core of all disputes.”
