In every line and color choice, Saber's art on the bio-hazard stickers demands engagement and reflects the unyielding nature of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. As a documented figure in the graffiti community, Saber's American roots and contributions continue to shape the conversation around the power of street art to reframe our perception of the symbols that dominate our public spaces.
