• Banksy has unveiled a new mural in Bayswater, London featuring two children looking up at the sky.
• An identical mural also appeared near Centre Point, sparking speculation about their meanings.
• The artwork is believed to comment subtly on homelessness in London, according to observers.

British street artist Banksy revealed his latest work on Monday in Bayswater, depicting two children lying on the ground, dressed in winter hats and boots, pointing towards the sky. This black and white mural, painted above a garage wall, was first spotted on Queen's Mews and quickly gained attention. Banksy confirmed its authenticity by posting images on his official Instagram account shortly after its unveiling, although he has not acknowledged a similar piece spotted outside the Centre Point tower, which also surfaced on the same day, according to South China Morning Post, BBC, and CBS News.

The mural in Bayswater has drawn significant public interest, where people have been posing for photos alongside it. Artist Daniel Lloyd-Morgan interprets the Centre Point location of the identical mural as a poignant comment on child homelessness, arguing that while people are drawn to the artwork, they often overlook those in need nearby. "It's kind of like they're stargazing," he said, reflecting on the ignored presence of homeless individuals in the area, according to BBC and CBS News.

This latest artwork raises questions about Banksy's evolving commentary on societal issues, especially homelessness; however, it does not carry a direct political message, unlike some of his previous works. Notable among these is a September mural showing a judge looming over a protester, which had to be quickly covered due to the historical significance of its location. Banksy has been recognized for addressing such themes through his art, though the current mural appears to focus on childhood rather than overt political statements, according to South China Morning Post, BBC, and CBS News.
