I find it interesting that this artwork is kind of unexplained, and the artist has not made themselve known (a bit of a Banksy phenomenon).
I love the work, though (if that's what it is). The words written on the used pillows are intimate, some domestic, but despite the fact that they are sitting on the curb waiting to be picked up they have a beautiful personality and a rich sense of humanity to them.
The visible text on the pillows read:
- 'are you okay? I don't want to hurt you'
- 'mom, I just threw up'
- 'leave me alone... (I don't want to be alone)'
- 'sorry I drool'
The less discernible ones appear to read:
- 'maybe foreign girls aren't so great'
- 'my god, why can't he just [hidden in image] he can't commit. I am [...] I'll marry him'
- '[...] you are so gross. the first thing [...] is take a shower'
- 'why don't they [...]'
