This picture by Banksy that shows two African American women working on a plantation, and another African American woman who seems to be cut out of the picture and sitting on the frame smoking a cigarette. Banksy has many art works sending messages to his audience about world issues. This obviously shows how during the enslavement of Africans, the Africans were worked to the bone. This shows how the slaves were tired of being controlled and treated unequally. This was made to address how the African Americans during this time brutally over worked. Its purpose is to show how the slaves detested this manual labor. This was addressed to people who know of enslavement of the Africans in the Americas and Banksy fans. Elements imagery and pun. Personally I like this very much. Its different from other paintings, and very realistic, it looks like she just stepped out of the frame and sat down.
