Renowned graffiti artist Banksy stirred up speculation recently by sharing images of his latest creation on Instagram. The artwork features a lighthouse silhouette with the intriguing phrase, “I want to be what you see in me.” Without providing any additional information, Banksy’s followers have been busy trying to uncover the location of this mysterious piece.
A second photo showing an elderly couple walking their dogs near the lighthouse has sparked discussions on social media platforms like Instagram. Speculation is rife that the artwork could be situated in southern France, with many users suggesting Marseille as a potential location.
Various theories and comments on the artwork’s possible whereabouts have been circulating online, with some users pinpointing the specific address in Marseille as 1 Rue Félix Frégier, 13007 Marseille, France.
The meaning behind the artwork and its enigmatic quote, possibly inspired by the song ‘Lonely’ by Lonestar, remains a puzzle. Banksy’s art often carries political themes, touching on issues like immigration, homelessness, and international conflicts.
While some of Banksy’s works carry explicit political messages, others remain shrouded in mystery, prompting interpretations and discussions among art enthusiasts. In a previous spree in London in 2024, Banksy unveiled a series of animal-themed stenciled artworks across the city, showcasing his unique style and creativity.
