Bunch of Flowers revisits one of Banksy’s most recognizable and enduring motifs — the Flower Thrower — but with a subtle, reflective twist. Stripped of the protestor and the act of defiance, the composition isolates the bouquet itself, elevating it from a symbol of rebellion to one of fragile hope and poetic stillness. What was once an emblem of protest now becomes an emblem of peace.

In this pared-back iteration, Banksy invites viewers to focus on the gesture’s essence — the flowers, still bursting with vitality, yet detached from the chaos of their original context. The black stencilled hand reaches upward, tender yet unresolved, grasping a spray of white blossoms and green foliage that stand in stark contrast to the subdued background. The result is hauntingly quiet: a frozen moment where the energy of revolution softens into introspection.

Executed with Banksy’s characteristic precision, Bunch of Flowers transforms a familiar image of confrontation into one of contemplation. The muted palette, punctuated by delicate blooms, suggests that even acts of resistance are rooted in compassion and the human need for connection. By isolating the bouquet from its original bearer, Banksy distils the message of The Flower Thrower into its purest form — peace as both a protest and a plea.

Ultimately, Bunch of Flowers stands as an evolution of one of Banksy’s most iconic symbols. It reminds us that beneath every act of rebellion lies the simple, enduring hope for beauty and humanity to prevail.
