Flying Balloon Girl

Banksy

2005

ENG EST

Banksy created the work in 2005 on the wall separating Palestine and Israel in Bethlehem. The artist believes that Palestine is the world's largest open-air prison, so the girl flying away with balloons becomes a symbol of freedom and a better tomorrow. The carefree play of childhood and the element of magical realism are in strong contrast with the harsh controlled reality of the region and the ongoing war in modern times.
Banksy lõi teose 2005. aastal Petlemma Palestiinat ja Iisraeli lahutavale müürile. Kunstnik on seisukohal, et Palestiina on maailma suurim vabaõhuvangla, seega õhupallidega minema lendavast tüdrukust saab vabaduse ja parema homse sümbol. Lapsepõlve muretu mäng ning maagilise realismi element on tugevas vastuolus piirkonna karmi kontrollitud reaalsusega ning kaasajal ka käimasoleva sõjaga.
