banksy sentimental lighthouse

Banksy has unveiled a new artwork featuring a lighthouse with the text 'I want to be what you saw in me,' posted on his Instagram account without any caption or location details. The piece, rendered in his signature black stencil on a stucco wall, appears to be his first major work since the 2023 'Beastly London' campaign, which included animal-themed murals across the city. Within two hours of posting, the image garnered over 300,000 likes, continuing the artist's tradition of cryptic, location-ambiguous public interventions.

Banksy has unveiled a new street artwork in Marseille, France, located on Rue Félix Fregier. The piece features a painted lighthouse and the stenciled text “I want to be what you saw in me,” set beside a sidewalk bollard whose shadow the lighthouse mimics. The artist posted the work on Instagram, where it quickly garnered over 800,000 likes. The mural marks a notably introspective and emotionally vulnerable departure from Banksy’s typically satirical or politically charged style.

Is Banksy getting personal? New lighthouse mural prompts speculation over its philosophical meaning

Banksy has unveiled a new mural on Instagram after a six-month hiatus, depicting a black lighthouse with the stenciled phrase “I want to be what you saw in me.” The work, located in Marseille’s Rue Félix Fregier, marks the first time the artist has referred to himself in the first person in a public mural. Speculation about its meaning ranges from a tribute to a deceased artist known as Lonely Farmer to a moment of rare self-reflection, though Banksy’s studio Pest Control declined to comment.
