Banksy has several times used variants of this design to support social campaigns: in 2005 about the West Bank barrier, in 2014 about the Syrian refugee crisis, and also about the 2017 UK election. A 2017 Samsung poll ranked Girl with Balloon as the United Kingdom's number one favourite artwork. At the same time, the image is also tinged with a sense of melancholy or sadness, as the girl's position below the balloon suggests that she may not be able to reach it. This can be seen as a reflection of the harsh realities of life and the many obstacles that can stand in the way of our dreams and aspirations.

Balloons often remind us of happy occasions and celebrations. When inflated, balloons only go up- but after a short amount of time they deflate and go down- an unavoidable occurrence. This mimics the behavior of a child’s imagination. A mind that pushes beyond limits, but then eventually hits a point of adulthood and loss of that innocence. From the video above, it appears that Banksy himself or an agent of the man himself, may have been at auction and pressed the button to start the process.Bull, Martin (1 November 2011).

Girl with Balloon (also, Balloon Girl or Girl and Balloon) is a series of stencil murals around London by the graffiti artist Banksy, started in 2002. They depict a young girl with her hand extended toward a red heart-shaped balloon carried away by the wind. The locations for this work include street murals in Shoreditch and the South bank in London on the Waterloo Bridge [1] and other murals were around London, though none remain there. On the surface it’s still a stunning, whimsical piece of stencil art. Our girl, with her hair blowing in the wind appears to have lost her balloon to that same wind.
