Banksy

 No clean water left...

This image work brings awareness to poverty: One child under five years old dies every 21 seconds from water related disease, so with no access to clean water, this child has to bathe in a dirty bucket.

Rickshaw Kid



This image shows two happy overweight tourists expect a small skinny child to pull them around. The fact that the tourists are in colour and the little boy is in black and white emphasises the difference between them: They are having a good time and he is not.

I hate mondays


This image shows irony in the fact that this is a T-shirt someone in the more economically developed world, who works Monday to Friday and has the weekend off would wear, when this child probably works all day everyday and is still very very poor.


A false sense of protection

This image shows that you are not always protected in life when your supposed to, like this umbrella is meant to protect you from the rain, however rain is coming through it.
