Banksy is easily my favourite artist because of all the meanings he puts behind his art, something that so many artists miss in modern work. This is my favourite picture by him for several reasons. First of all it demonstrates how many lower economically developed countries adapt our culture without fully understanding it, but more significantly our naivety in the ‘western world’. 
We always say “I hate Mondays” because we have the weekend off and Monday signifies the start of school or work. This boy here doesn’t have a ‘Monday’, he wakes up everyday to the same thing: Surviving. He has to get up regardless, look for fresh water, food and fight to live. He has no conception of Mondays. So next time you wake up on and groan because it is a Monday, after a nice weekend off, in your nice house and go and have a shower with clean running water, pick one of your many outfits, before having some ready made breakfast to make your way to your job or school for free-education… Think of this boy here, and think: Do you really hate Mondays?
