Starting from the aesthetic evolution of graffiti art, the construction of modern aesthetic language, and the life experience contained in graffiti art by creators and viewers, it deeply analyzes how the two permeate and shape each other, revealing the unique value of street graffiti in the contemporary urban cultural context, and providing a new perspective for understanding the relationship between modern urban art and individual life.
