How does this letter-form communicate its location?

I noticed that recently more and more higher quality graffiti starts to appear in public spaces. One of my favorite styles of such graffiti is Armenian calligraphy! When skilled people do it, it looks so good and it adds style to a place. This work particularly is done by @urbanistyvn, whom you can find on Instagram. I like this one’s ironic message. It translates to something like: ‘Is this legal? No clue’. It probably has a deeper meaning of protest against the absence of governmental management and law in this country. But even without considering the meaning, it just looks beautiful and I like that graffiti artists bring back our almost forgotten tradition of calligraphy!
