Banksy

http://www.banksy.co.uk/outdoors/images/newerrats/RAT1.jpg

I really like this image. It's a rebellious but playful gesture. It made me question exactly how much of our individual rights and activities we hand over to anonymous signs. I also like the whole rat-race metaphor and how Banksy manages to subvert the negative connotations of deceitful, treacherous rat, into the symbol for an oppressed population that is FORCED to make deceitful and treacherous decisions.
