Banksy’s most famous piece is widely considered to be Girl with Balloon. Originally created as a street mural in London (2002), it shows a child reaching toward a red, heart-shaped balloon that is drifting away. The image is simple but emotionally powerful, often interpreted as a symbol of hope, loss, or innocence. Girl with Balloon became even more famous in 2018 when a framed version partially shredded itself at auction, transforming into a new work titled Love Is in the Bin.
