In statements to the BBC, artist Daniel Lloyd-Morgan interpreted this new work by Banksy as a call to draw attention to the problem of homeless children.
“Everyone has fun, but it exists many children who are not feeling well at Christmassaid Lloyd-Morgan, who however lamented that people seemed to be “ignoring” the mural.
“It’s a busy area. It’s very noticeable that people don’t stop.” You walk past homeless people and don’t see them lying on the street. It’s like they’re watching the stars,” he argued, like the children in the mural.
