Elusive street artist Banksy has confirmed a new artwork in central London—a striking statue of a man marching forward with his face obscured by a large flag. Installed overnight at Waterloo Place in Westminster, the sculpture quickly drew attention for its political symbolism and bold placement among historic monuments. Banksy shared a video showing the installation process, sparking mixed public reactions. The piece is widely interpreted as commentary on blind nationalism or leadership. Known for provocative works, the artist continues to use public spaces to challenge political and social narratives. (PC: X)
