This to me is a seminal piece of work by Banksy, although his work now has become very commercialised, the viewer is reminded of early wall slogans depicting the troubles in Ireland and Berlin. Who's side are we looking at, is it from the Israeli or Palestinian side? I wonder what the thinking behind using children in this is.... The hole in the wall depicts Utopia albeit somewhat hurricane swept. BBC's Alan Johnston says 'there's no space left in Gaza, no parks, no grass, but there is a beach, it's Gaza's only playground, as Samehh the lifeguard put it, it's where people go to breathe'
To me it reminds me of a fading lens shutter on a camera, maybe blocking all hope, the last glimmer.
