The relationship between graffiti and public art is often misunderstood and cast in opposition rather than seen as part of a shared cultural evolution. Yet the two are not adversaries, but kin. Born from the same urban fabric, they speak a common language: visibility, territory, identity, and voice. One cannot fully understand the value of public art in contemporary cities without acknowledging its roots in the graffiti movement.

Across the built environment, liminal zones; alleyways, retaining walls, façades, and underpasses,  often sit in a kind of spatial limbo. They exist between function and neglect, structure and experience. Yet within these overlooked surfaces lies immense potential. When art intervenes, these dormant spaces are not merely decorated; they are redefined.
