On one side of the building, the artwork depicts a child playing in what appears to be falling snow. However, the other side tells a different story, revealing it is, in fact, ash being emitted from a fire.
Posting on his verified Instagram account, Banksy shared a video of the artwork, with the caption: “Season’s greetings”. Watch here:
