Banksy's Lighthouse Illuminates Marseille with New Artwork

A new Banksy artwork has appeared in Marseille, France, causing excitement among locals. The artwork, located near the Catalans beach on Rue Felix Pyat, depicts a lighthouse with the words "I want to be what you saw in me." One local, interviewed while having lunch nearby, exclaimed, "It's huge! I saw it on social media and thought, 'I'm not going to find that in the Catalans area!' And here it is! We love it!" Another resident, interviewed while cycling, commented on the artist's choice of location: "It's really cool to find something like this here in Marseille. And it's fascinating that Banksy chose a city like Marseille, with so much art, so many foreigners, and so much life, to create his artwork." The appearance of the artwork is significant, given Banksy's anonymity and the high value of his stencil-based graffiti art, often addressing social and political issues. The artwork's message and its impact on the Marseille community make it a compelling news story.
