The latest Banksy is reportedly on 68th Street and 38th Avenue in Queens, just off the 7 Train. The text reads “What we do in life echoes in Eternity,” as a man begins to wipe it off the wall. It’s Banky’s first piece in Queens, and according to Instagrammer azzabi_soraya, Banksy went to the borough in response to a commenter’s request to inspire his kid.
As for the quote, it’s from Maximus in Gladiator, which is a variation from the original by Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and philosopher who said “What we do now echoes in eternity.”
