Choose Your Weapon features the same iconic hooded figure and Haring-inspired barking dog, here set against a luminous turquoise ground. The bright, almost playful tone of the background contrasts sharply with the faceless figure, amplifying the tension between menace and innocence, satire and seriousness.

Turquoise, often associated with calmness and vitality, here destabilises the darker undertones of the hooded youth, encouraging viewers to reconsider preconceived associations with urban culture, authority, and resistance. The dog, drawn from Haring’s universally accessible visual language, becomes a symbolic “weapon”  not of violence, but of creativity and voice. This edition, like others in the Choose Your Weapon series, underscores Banksy’s ongoing exploration of how street art challenges social control and empowers alternative narratives.
