Banksy - 'Gas mask girl'


I feel this picture relates quite a lot to how we want our portrayal of Alice to be. Banksy has a way of twisting things to make quite a statemtent; I am unsure of what this picture is actually suggesting, however, we feel it is highlighting the idea of government repression and living in a society that is poisened by authority. We feel this is a good starting point as to how we want our Alice to be viewed; we feel the gas mask contradicts Alice's innocence, and the fact we are unable to see her face adds to the sense of mystery and idea that we do not know the real Alice.
