    Girl with TV (2004) presents a child locked in an embrace not with a toy, book, or family member, but with a television set. Stencilled in Banksy’s signature black-and-white style, the girl clutches the bulky screen tightly against her chest, her expression caught between affection and dependence. Painted directly onto industrial doors, the work turns the object into a stand-in for modern devotion, exposing how technology consumes intimacy.
     
    The image captures Banksy’s recurring concern with media saturation, consumerism, and childhood vulnerability. The television, branded with his name, becomes both idol and parasite — a reflection of the way entertainment monopolises attention and distorts emotional bonds. Girl with TV is a unique early piece that embodies Banksy’s talent for distilling cultural critique into instantly recognisable imagery.
