Banksy Releases New Works on Gaza


      Renowned graffiti artist Banksy revealed his latest work yesterday via Instagram tagging the photos "#Gaza". The work consists of fatigued figures amidst the remains and rubble of a city.  These pieces are portrayed in a desolate war driven environment. A particular cute kitten can also be found within the debris, because “on the Internet people only look at pictures of kittens" Banksy explained. 
     His work engages the viewer to look at what is really happening here. Inviting a new audience to witness and act accordingly to the powerful images he brings into a new light.
