Editorial note
- A 'heart' in the context of graffiti refers to a motif that is often used for its universal symbolism of love, passion, and emotion. This motif can be incorporated into a graffito in various ways, from standalone designs to patterns, and even as a stylistic element in lettering. The heart motif can be used to convey a range of messages or sentiments, depending on its context within the graffiti. It can express personal feelings, comment on societal issues related to love and relationships, or simply serve as a decorative element. In some instances, graffitists may also shape letters or entire words into a heart form, adding a layer of visual interest and complexity to their work.
