On the other, placed on the wall of a house in the same good neighborhood of Chelsea, the silhouettes of two elephants face each other and seem to greet each other on the white windows of the house.
Many assumptions
If the street artist does not provide any information about the meaning of these two images, Internet users are making many assumptions in the comments of his publications. Some think that Banksy wants to protest the destruction of animals, others the absence of private life, due to the presence of public cameras.

James Cleverly, former British Home Secretary, described the installation as “in very bad taste”. Banksy responded on Instagram that this criticism seemed “absurd” to him, before adding: “The real ship that I financed, the MV Louise Michel, took 17 unaccompanied children in the heart of the Mediterranean on Monday evening, the Italian authorities are holding him, in my view, this is what is insulting and unacceptable.”
