Graffiti is visual expression at its core, and while generalized as an association with urban environments, graffiti is present in most places around the world with roots tracing back to ancient civilizations, but in modern times, it has evolved into a controversial art form. Some view it as a rebellious act or a form of protest, while others see it as an artistic expression that challenges traditional boundaries of creativity, and though mostly viewed as illegal vandalism, graffiti is a powerful medium for social commentary, self-expression, and even beautification when viewed artistically.
