Girl and Balloon Mural
2002
Mural - Spray Paint on Wall

This spray paint work is another Banksy's most famous images and portrays a little girl looking at the sky while letting go of a heart-shaped balloon. The symbolism is clear. The innocence of children, the desire for a better world, the air of hope, the winds of change.
It was discovered on the South Bank of London in 2002 on the wall of a stairway. This symbolic image has a very powerful message of hope, dreams, and love. A message that comes across most of the artist’s pieces, but with a contingency that clearly makes us reflects on everyday acts. Sometimes an image is greater than words.
