[ DESCRIPTION ]
The iconic Vietnam War "Napalm Girl" photograph reimagined with Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse flanking the screaming child.
[ CRITICAL ANALYSIS ]
A brutal juxtaposition of American corporate branding with one of history's most powerful anti-war images. Banksy implicates consumer capitalism in military violence, suggesting that the smiling face of brand America is inseparable from its geopolitical devastation.
