Description
Girl with Balloon depicts a small child rendered in black and white who reaches out towards a bright red, heart shaped balloon dangling from a string. Like most Banksy’s works, the image is an ambiguous one, leaving the viewer to decipher whether the girl is reaching out to catch the balloon (a vibrant emblem of childhood delight) or rather has let it slip from her fingers and is watching in anguish as it drifts into oblivion. This could be interpreted as a metaphor, perhaps, for the inevitable loss of childhood and innocence. The red balloon, as the only spot of color, is an archetypal symbol of childhood and freedom many of us connect with. More than a simple child’s toy, it evokes fragility of what it stands for: innocence, dreams, hope, and love.
