Editorial note
- Etchings represent a distinct type of graffiti, created through the use of materials such as acid and etching techniques. Unlike traditional aerosol-based graffiti, etchings offer a unique aesthetic and a degree of permanence. The creation of etched graffiti involves applying a corrosive substance onto a surface, usually glass or metal, and manipulating it to inscribe a design or text. This results in a visually striking form of graffiti writing that resists conventional removal methods, ensuring its enduring presence. While etchings share some commonalities with traditional graffiti, such as communicative intent and territorial marking, they are distinguished by their unique production process and visual characteristics. This form of graffiti underscores the innovative spirit of graffitists, who continually explore new methods and materials for self-expression and community engagement.
