The piece describes how Taxi’s passion for large-scale murals began in his early teens and evolved into a lifelong commitment to urban creativity. With the city’s compact infrastructure and increasing pressure for housing development, his art is seen as a form of cultural negotiation - opening a new space for creativity in everyday life.
