The mural depicts a 1950s housewife with a swollen eye and missing tooth locking a man in a freezer. Many believe that the artist wanted to convey a message about fighting domestic violence and violence against women.

The freezer has been removed.

In any case, the inhabitants of Margate and the rest of the planet enjoyed this particular Banksy work for about 48 hours, since the freezer, which was part of the work of art, was removed by order of the city council.

The reason for the decision was that the graffiti could have been painted on a private wall, but the freezer was in a public area and had to be removed for security reasons.

“The freezer is in storage and will be moved back to the scene as soon as it is safe for the public. We will also contact the owner of the building to discuss our options for preserving the artwork.”
