Which iconic work by Banksy depicts a girl reaching out for a heart-shaped balloon?
Girl with Balloon
"Girl with Balloon" is one of Banksy's most famous and emotionally powerful works. Originally painted on a wall in South London in 2002, this image has captured the public's heart with its simplicity and symbolic depth. The heart-shaped balloon, escaping the reach of the little girl, can be interpreted as the loss of innocence, love, hope, or dreams. In 2018, during an auction at Sotheby's, a framed version of this work partially self-destructed through a shredder hidden by the artist, instantly creating another legendary moment in contemporary art history.
