Urban Art Graffiti - Migrant Child - Clearance

This poignant piece painted on a canal wall in Venice’s Dorsoduro district shows a young migrant child wearing a life jacket and holding a neon pink flare in the air. The positioning of the stencil makes it appear as though the child is actually wading in the waters, while the bright pink flames spilling out of the flare stand out the way they might if you were seeing them across a dark, cold ocean. It is one of Banksy’s several pieces of street art that address the global refugee crisis.
