About
A small girl hugging a falling bomb the way she might hug a toy. The image grew out of the material Banksy was working on for Existencilism, his 2002 show at 33 1/3 Gallery in Los Angeles. It is one of his most reproduced images and, as a result, one of the most faked; the unsigned sheets are the usual target.
