WHAT ABOUT GRAFITTI ART?
The term "graffiti" is derived from the Italian word graffito, meaning "scratched." It reflects the practice of inscribing messages or images onto surfaces, a tradition that has persisted through the ages.

Graffiti serves as a powerful medium for personal expression, allowing artists to convey their thoughts, emotions, and identities in public spaces.
