Banksy's latest mysterious artwork has surfaced in the vibrant streets of Marseille, showcasing a striking lighthouse image alongside the evocative phrase: "I want to be what you saw in me." Initially shrouded in secrecy, the work has been confirmed to reside on Rue Félix Fregier, where it juxtaposes a somber beige wall. The mural features a cleverly designed shadow on the pavement, seemingly cast by a nearby bollard, resulting in a whimsical interplay between urban art and everyday elements.
The public's excitement was further amplified by social media, where images reveal a blurred figure on a scooter passing by the striking mural, with hints of another graffiti tag reading “Yaze” adorning the nearby wall. This tag appears to connect to Canadian artist Marco The Polo, who openly admires Banksy's work and often reflects similar themes in his art.

His official Instagram account has become a beacon for confirming the authenticity of his pieces, which frequently comment on pressing political issues, including immigration and homelessness.
