She looks like a girl, maybe a little older.
She dresses as a gymnast and performs a figure with her legs while she supports herself with her arms on the ground.
The drawing or graffiti is by Banksy, as the British artist of unknown identity has confirmed on his Instagram account.
A short text accompanies the image with the location: it is one of the walls that remains standing of a destroyed residential building in the Ukrainian city of Borodianka, on the outskirts of kyiv.
The young woman seems to make an impossible balance on the ruins of a place devastated by Russia last February.

Has Banksy been gobbled up by the system?
Borodianka has become one of the symbols of Russian barbarism around kyiv, along with Bucha and Irpin.
More than 200 people were killed and there are still dozens of missing persons.
It is this terrible badge that has drawn Banksy to town.
As he did in the Gaza Strip or in a Syrian refugee camp in Calais (France), the artist has launched his criticism against the terror of war in an emblematic place despite himself.
The urban creator devises his art so that it can be exhibited in the open air, on the streets of dozens of cities around the world, without having to pay to see it.
Always with the intention of raising awareness around issues such as inequality, capitalism or the hyper-surveillance to which we are subjected.

Two other works, of a similar nature, have begun to circulate through social networks, but have not appeared, for the moment, in any of Banksy's official accounts.
Nor have they been claimed by Pest Control, the non-profit organization created by the author to verify his works.
In one of them, a black-belted judoka falls to the ground after a boy, also dressed in kimono, puts him in a headlock.
The man who is unable to beat the kid reminds Putin.
The Russian president is a lover of martial arts, in addition to having the category of black belt.
Last February, after the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, the International Judo Federation (IJF) issued a statement announcing that it was suspending the president as his
honorary president and ambassador.
The third graffiti that has appeared and whose authorship is also unknown represents another young rhythmic gymnastics athlete who moves a ribbon and stands on one foot over a large hole in another building destroyed by the Russian invasion.
