Social Issue Critique By: Tara Beckler

I think this painting is a random sense of the world. There is a lot that would be difficult to connect. I say there is no real meaning as much as an outlook on what is going on in the world at the time. One thing I noticed was I that there is a number one in the cloth, two of the statue of liberty’s, three pillars four fingers, under the weight and six faces. I wonder if this is symbolic or random. I keep questioning if there is a 7,8,9? Something else pretty random on this is all of the different county symbolizations. For example, the lion could represent Africa, the banner with South America on it seems pretty obvious, the VTS could be China and the head of George Washington could represent North America. Those could be tied together as how the countries are having down falls at this time. But the more I look the more counties I find. Through out this painting there are things that don’t make sense to me. I don’t understand the checkerboard on fire. I don’t understand the fist that looks like and tree. And I don’t understand the little pebbles on the lion. In conclusion there are many things going on. The author could be trying to twist your thoughts and make you think. Maybe there is no point, but maybe there is.
