I actually like that the graffiti in this is just a simple tag rather than a full mural or a more complicated piece that conforms to our conception of “art.”
I would argue that it’s just barely stepping out of the ideology of who is allowed to express themselves in public to condone only “good” graffiti.
The real liberation is imho letting even “bad” artists express themselves, even if all they’re saying is “I was here.”
