Graffiti Artist Banksy Snuck in Gaza


"This cat tells the whole world that she is missing joy in her life." "The cat found something to play with — what about our children? What about our children?" by Banksy (him/herself).  It was not surprising to find any art in Gaza.  Art is an expression to those do not have the voice to speak out. It has a  powerful message.  The black and white image of the cat with a pink bow around her neck can be represents a child.  A child left behind during the war.  The saddest of losing the love ones is unspeakable.  The cat does not look very happy, instead it has a sad face.  The gesture of the cat looks like she/he is the only one left in the world. The yard ball was made out from the individual steel grab together.  It is a touchy moment.  When you look at this, it will make you think. 
This artwork is also a powerful, because it is all in black and gray image of a human kneel down with the head down. It does not need details to tell the story. This image tells you that he or she is alone in the dark without any rescues. It is a metaphor for the quality of humanity. Street art is often has a political message or a statement.  Based on these two artworks, are so depressing to see, because art is not always expresses to be happy or colorful.  Sometimes, we need to learn from it.
