Editorial note
- Swirls, as motifs in graffiti or any other form of visual art, are decorative elements that feature a twisted or spiral pattern. They are often used to add a sense of movement, energy, and dynamism to a design. Swirls can be simple, with a single line spiralling around a central point, or complex, with multiple intertwined spirals creating intricate patterns. In graffiti, swirls can be used in a variety of ways. They can serve as a background or filler, adding depth and complexity to a piece. They can also be used to outline or highlight other elements of the design, or they can stand alone as a focal point. Swirls can be rendered in a variety of styles, from smooth and flowing to jagged and angular, depending on the artist's intent and the overall aesthetic of the piece.
