It is unfair for graffiti to be solely considered art as it vandalizes and causes destruction to private property. Andre Saraiva, a well-known street artist “of a new generation of graffiti artists who regard nature — not just the built environment — as their canvas,” was said to have painted on a boulder from Joshua Tree National Park which upset American nature lovers, many of whom are still fans of graffiti art (Sahagun). In 2013, there had been a need for a big cleanup in Rattlesnake Canyon, located in Joshua Tree National park as the workers, “[removed] etchings from the face of Barker Dam,” and then later, there was another sight of vandalism which was seen as, “a large, bright blue giraffe on a boulder in 49 Palms Oasis” (Sahagun).
