Above is a stencil image by an artist named Banksy. This is a wonderful piece of art that appears to have a man throwing a bouquet of flowers. Upon closer inspection you see that this man seems to have an aggressive, and almost angry, look, not at all what I would expect to see while you toss something as beautiful as a bouquet of flowers. This shows me that this man is a gangster in a fight, but his weapon has been replaced with beautiful flowers. If those flowers were not there then I think that a deadly weapon, that is possibly explosive, would be there instead. If you look closely you see that this man is covering his face, to me this means that he has a criminal reputation and is trying to hide his identity so that he does not get caught. Now look at the colors of this image. The only part of the entire drawing that is not black and white is the flowers. This, to me, symbolizes that this gangster society is throwing away their last ounce of sanity, hope, and peace. I love this picture and the powerful symbolism behind it. This picture has inspired me to look at more of Banksy’s work.
