From a protest against media-driven fame to a plea for the invisible to be seen, this collection speaks directly to what it means to be human—and what it could mean if we chose to care.

1. Do Not Panic
A yellow warning-style stencil depicts a large fish attacking smaller ones—until the fish unite. The message is clear: panic divides, but organization empowers.
2. Breathing Green — Dr. Love in Bristol, UK

4. The Power of Love
Spray-painted across a decaying wall, this message reads: “When the power of love is greater than the love of power, the world will know peace.” It’s widely attributed to Jimi Hendrix, and has become a recurring slogan in protest art worldwide.
5. Invisible Child — Campaign in Australia
A poster saying “Neglected children are made to feel invisible” is ripped away to reveal a child silhouette beneath. The hidden message: “Thank you for seeing me.”

6. Home Is Where You Make It — Skid Robot in Los Angeles, USA
Under a freeway bridge, a person experiencing homelessness lies on a mattress. Behind them, Skid Robot has drawn a dreamlike mural on the wall: a TV, a window, and a birdcage—elements of a home imagined in outline. Known for painting the dreams and realities of people living on the streets of Los Angeles, Skid Robot uses public art to call attention to poverty and the need for dignity.

A child painted to blend into concrete stairs is nearly invisible, representing children lost in poverty. Next to them, a sign reads: “Don’t ignore me.” See the rest of the photos here!
9. Targeted Dove — Banksy in Bethlehem, West Bank, California, USA
A dove of peace wearing a bulletproof vest is painted with a sniper target on its chest. Created by Banksy, this mural critiques the paradox of militarized peace efforts. More!: Banksy’s Gaza Murals Are More Relevant Than Ever

Betlehem West Bank, or California, USA?
While some send a clear message, others fail to evoke the feelings they appear to convey. Placing the words, ‘know’ and ‘peace’ over rainbow colors completely neglects the horrific mess that political activists and tiktokers created for our genuine, peace-loving gay and lesbian communities, lumping them in with a larger, pernicious movement full of chaos and division. The artist that created the dove mural neglects to acknowledge the human aspect of doves/pigeons (same bird) saving the lives of hundreds of troops, such as Cher Ami and G.I. Joe. I don’t often criticize art; however, when it’s political but dumbs down the biggest mistakes of the topic at hand, they are reckless.
It says teach peace not know peace. Completely different message and apparently one you missed.
