Why the face?
Throughout Oakland, California you'll might notice that graffiti has impacted the city massively. Due to the poverty within the city, Oakland struggles to cover graffiti. The controversy between the Oakland Police Department and citizens over the last few years has lead to a lot of protests and marches against the law. So GATS's way of protesting is graffiti. He says "...the mask represents global identity," and that "the mask is supposed to represent a 'F you' to the authority figures." He also believes that graffiti is our last bit of freedom of speech we have.
