Hostomel, Proskurivska 2 2022

Banksy's "Hostomel, Proskurivska 2" (2022) is a powerful piece of street art that depicts a woman in a gas mask and bathrobe wielding a fire extinguisher, standing on a chair amidst a damaged building. This iconic image, created during the war in Ukraine, is a symbol of resilience and defiance in the face of adversity. The work highlights the contrast between the destruction of war and the strength of human spirit. The stark black and white stencil evokes a sense of urgency and danger, while the bright yellow background provides a stark contrast to the scene of destruction.
