Banksy's website displays a number of different pieces from Calais, including the ominous scrawled message, "Maybe this whole situation will just sort itself out..." The activist-artist seems to have taken a particular interest in bringing attention to the camp; earlier this year it was announced that he was donating the materials used to build his "Dismaland" amusement park to help house Calais' refugees.
