This first picture I have chosen because it shows a young boy with a phone, and is crying because he has no new comments, likes and followers. And it just shows how messed up society are because all they care about is becoming known and famous throughout the media. It is a young boy and they shouldn't be all over the internet at that age, they should be playing outside, going to the park and etc. I think Banksy wants us to look at this and realise that this is wrong and children shouldn't be crying over how people on social media aren't noticing them, but at things that have happened in REAL LIFE, and REAL FRIENDS.
This second picture I have chosen shows two people that are obviously fighting over something they may be protesting about.. As you can see on the billboards they are holding, one person want peace, and one wants love. This is a bit weird looking at it because it shows someone who is 'protesting for 'peace' fighting. Which reminds me of those who are really into peace so much they would start a war about it... Doesn't make sense? Of course art is all about how people interpret things differently. The way I see it is the person holding a love sign could be homosexual, which we all know many people can be very against. So the person that could be representing peace and comes across all innocent could really be hurting/bullying the homosexual.
The third image is of a girl that seems to be cuddling a bomb? The bomb reminds me of a teddy the way she is holding and supporting it. This could be symbolising how two things that shouldn't be together, (young girl and the bomb,) are now together; this graffiti image is obviously making fun of war. It is going into the devastating side of war and how it affects the families by losing loved one! I like this piece because there could be any different messages involved within the graffiti, depending on how someone interprets it.
