Art Critique: Banksy’s Mural and Its Erasure

The recent mural by Banksy, now removed, was far more than street art—it was a living, powerful message about justice, authority, and standing up for what is right. The image of a judge striking down on a lone protestor shows the struggle between those in power and people who resist unfair rules. It reminds us that the fight for freedom and truth is ongoing, and that courage often comes from the heart.
What made this mural truly special was the energy it put out through the heart chakra—a vibration of truth, love, and courage. Once energy like this is released into the world, it cannot be destroyed or erased. Even if someone removes the paint, cleans the wall, or destroys the image, the energy stays alive. It flows through people who see it, inspiring thought, reflection, and action. In fact, removing the mural only makes its message stronger, because it shows how much power and truth it carried in the first place.
The act of removing the mural is, in itself, a crime against art, culture, and expression. To erase it is to attack not just a wall, but the energy, intention, and message it shared. Banksy’s work thrives on engagement and reflection. Destroying it shows fear of the truths it raises rather than acceptance of them. Art like this invites people to feel, think, and connect, while authority sometimes seeks control, compliance, and the suppression of discomfort.
Even when walls are wiped clean, the energy and the questions the mural raised remain alive. They live in the public consciousness, grow stronger, and continue to inspire anyone who witnesses them. The removal of the mural does not erase it—it amplifies its message, proving that energy, love, and truth cannot be taken away.
Banksy’s work shows us that even in erasure, art continues to speak. The energy put into the world through the heart chakra cannot be destroyed, and every attempt to silence it only spreads it further. Removing the mural is not just an act of censorship—it is a crime against the very spirit of creative expression, a testament to how powerful the energy truly was.
