West Bank Banksy Wall Art
About the Image
This image, created by Banksy in 2007 and located on the West Wall of Bethlehem, subverts expectations. The soldier is being frisked by a little girl, rather than the other way around.
Here Banksy reverses traditional power dynamics: a young girl pats down an armed soldier. This role reversal critiques militarisation, surveillance, and the loss of innocence in conflict zones. By showing a child as the authority figure, it highlights the absurdity of power structures and questions who is truly a threat. The image evokes both irony and discomfort, forcing viewers to rethink assumptions about security, control, and vulnerability.
About the Artist
Banksy is an anonymous British street artist known for his provocative, politically charged stencils that appear on public walls worldwide. Blending dark humour with biting social commentary, his work tackles themes like consumerism, war, inequality, and surveillance. Despite—or because of—his secrecy, Banksy has become a global cultural icon. His art, often ephemeral, challenges traditional notions of ownership and authority, while commanding enormous interest in galleries and auctions alike.
