Banksy, My Alibi — A Personal Reflection
By Dr. Anna Biela 23.06.2025 Wrocław 4:44pm
A few days ago, I was staying at Jacek’s house in Orłowiec. We spent long hours talking, reflecting on everything that has happened to me these past weeks — the healing, the shifts, how much life has changed.
Jacek is a philosopher at heart. He listens, but also helps you see deeper layers. When we came to the subject of Banksy — this figure who has lived in my heart and energy for so long — Jacek said something that really struck me:
“Philosophically speaking, Banksy is your alibi. A shape you’ve placed on the far horizon — unreachable, and safe.”
The more I reflected, the more I understood.
It’s true — sometimes we project our deepest longings onto someone or something just out of reach. It gives us direction, hope — but also protects us from disappointment. That is exactly what I had done with Banksy, without even realizing it.
For me, he is more than an artist. He is a myth, a symbol — the embodiment of a kind of Divine Masculine energy that is rare in this world: creative, protective, unseen but present, powerful but quiet. And maybe that is where he belongs — beyond reach, in the higher realms.
About a year ago, I posted a screenshot of an email I had received — it said:
“Thanks for the continued love and support.
Keep doing what you do best.
And keep sharing the light out there.
Kind regards,
Banksy.”
For a moment, I believed it was from him. I wanted to believe. But later, Pest Control confirmed that it was not. At first, I felt disappointed. But with time, I saw: this was never about contact in the physical world. The connection is not in 3D — and that is okay.
Not long ago, I had a dream — very vivid — that I will be killed on September 26, 2026. Whether the dream is literal or symbolic, it made one thing very clear: life is too short to chase unreachable things. There is so much real work to do, right here, right now.
And now, with the world standing on the brink of World War 3, I know there is no more time to waste. I must focus on building the Art Movement. I must speak truth, with courage. This is the moment.
Banksy — I will move forward. But I will always carry you in my heart as the artist who gave me the courage to speak my truth openly. You were the one who showed me that art can be resistance. That art can heal. That art can awaken others. For this, I am forever grateful.
And now — from my heart — I release you. You are free to be.
And I am free to live, to love, to create — and to give what I can to this world, while there is still time.
We are Free Free Free!
