Flower Thrower Mural
2002
Mural
Rage, the Flower Thrower or Love is in the Air is one of the most iconic stencils by Banksy, It was spray painted on the West Bank Wall in Jerusalem in 2005.
It shows a masked Palestinian throwing a bouquet of flowers as a Molotov cocktail against the rioters: an unexpected and pacific weapon. In hippie culture, a symbol of peace.
An act of love in an intense zone of war conflict. An advocate in changing the world by peaceful means that also convey us the idea that protesting capitalism or military regimes is as futile as throwing flowers against a wall.
