In 2005, Banksy visited Israel’s West Bank barrier. Reaching nearly eight metres in height the barrier is deemed necessary for security by the Israelis against Palestinian terrorism, however for Palestinians it is known as the “separation” or “segregation” wall. For Palestinians the wall has become a blank canvas on which they write messages and construct images reflecting their day-to-day struggles and feelings of imprisonment. Banksy's artwork depicts a young girl looking upwards, floating, suspended above the ground only by balloons. A poignant and uplifting image. Though the artwork is not explicitly political in nature, his opinion surrounding the barriers existence is made apparent in the following statement:
“The Israeli government is building a wall surrounding the occupied Palestinian territories. It stands three times the height of the Berlin Wall and will eventually run for over 700km – the distance from London to Zurich. The wall is illegal under international law and essentially turns Palestine into the world’s largest open prison.” This premium quality giclee art print has been produced on luxurious 100% cotton rag textured art paper using archival quality inks resulting in a superior print suitable for museum or gallery display.
