Banksy, the elusive street artist, has unveiled a fresh artwork on his Instagram. The image reveals the shadow of a bollard elongated on the pavement, cleverly morphing into a lighthouse. Inscribed upon this silhouette is the sentiment: “I want to be what you saw in me.”

While Banksy has kept the exact location of this piece under wraps, speculation among fans suggests it might be nestled in the Le Panier district of Marseille, a bustling port area famed for vibrant urban art. The presence of lighthouse-shaped bollards in the vicinity strengthens this theory.

Nearby, a signature hinting at the name “Yaze” appears, potentially pointing to Canadian artist Marco the Polo, who openly cites Banksy as an inspiration. Whether this marks a collaborative effort remains unconfirmed.

Some interpret the accompanying phrase as a nod to the song Softly by American band Lonestar, adding another layer of intrigue, though this remains speculative.

True to form, Banksy ingeniously integrates urban elements into his art, transforming mundane objects—such as a bollard—into symbolic lighthouses, maintaining his characteristic direct and evocative style.
