Artist Reveals What’s Wrong With Our Modern Society In These 30 Satirical Illustrations
Today we’d like for you to meet the artist Mahnaz Yazdani. Mahnaz’s deep and meaningful work often portrays society's problems in surrealistic illustrations that tend to show how everyday people (just like us) suffer from things that seemingly the rest of our modern society refuses to acknowledge more often than not.
One could say we probably have gotten used to the said problems just because we are always surrounded by them, so much that we don't even notice them anymore. However, things such as war, global pandemic, and problems revolving around our mental health aren’t going anywhere any time soon.
All in all, Yazdani’s work might give you a thought or two regarding the way we live currently.

Seen this happen in front of me irl in a park, and it was frustrating to say the least
Bored Panda also reached out to the artist to find out a little bit more about her and her work.
"I am a storyteller who tells most of her stories in her comics and animations. I started my art journey as an animator and cartoonist twenty years ago. My focus was on making animation for years. Since 2015, I have been professionally drawing editorial cartoons. I had so many stories in my mind waiting to be created, but animating all of them needed lots of years, so I chose comic style to tell my stories faster."
"Maybe the main characteristic of mine has led me to create such art: a humoristic outlook and thinking about the feelings of other people, for example, how does a kid feel under bombardment. Those help me to create a humorous story and then tell it in the shape of a comic, cartoon, or animation."
So beautifully illustrated, yet so devistately accurate and confronting. Currently we are being told to take our empty plastic bags back to our house, because the seahorses are dying.
In the age of the Internet, the lack of access to stable and high-speed Internet means the deprivation of job opportunities, education, social, cultural and all the facilities that are just available online.
Yasmín G. Serrano 4 minutes ago There’s a reason why they’re illegal. You think it’s because they want to be? They have no money to apply for permanent residence and they’re desperate for their lives so they have no choice. Governments ask for outrageous amounts of money for immigration and are very selective in who they bring and who they refuse. Of course I am not excusing it or saying it’s right, I am merely stating the reason why it happens. If you don’t believe me then it’s because you weren’t born in one of those countries so you can’t see the real reason
The Central American refugees have refused offers of asylum in Mexico because they want an even BETTER life in the US. Why wouldn't 80% of the world's population wanna come here? But throwing the doors open ain't the answer.

Definitely life in general but I get major Holocaust vibes off of this
Tldr, it's not about wiping out the poor, it's about having controlled assistance. We can only handle x amount of help in x ways. We can make laws that lean more towards helping if we band together to improve regions outside the US with those policies

There will always be people with money and power so to make it fair, for every rich and powerful they let skate past they should give two unprivileged the same treatment. If the rich want to throw money to open a door then charge them enough that it opens the door for two more people too. It's the only way to make it fair because the rich aren't going to stop using their money to get what they want. So this guy paid for him and his 3 family members, so 8 people at the fence should get that same treatment. That's what we should be fighting for.
It's about how being poor limits opportunities for mobility, such as immigration, working abroad, travel. But mostly immigration.
Not so much because of their money as because of their skin colour, culture, religion or origin 😡
Picture attempts to justify illegal immigration. Sad. Just look at Europe, it has turned into a sewer. Look at Paris and London. America too. I personally don't want any more immigrants in my country, rich or poor. We have enough already.
All Americans are immigrants or descendants of immigrants unless you are Native American.

Poverty, opportunity, political status. 💔 Everyone should have equal opportunity for freedom, liberty, SAFETY, security, prosperity, opportunity, & unification with loved-ones.
This is America right now! Lady Liberty states come all who are tired... make a home in the Great melting pot that is America but if you are poor and want a better and safer life for yourself and family not happening here but we got cages you'll find comfortable until we send you back. But.. you have money? Fly on in we will roll out the carpet for you...smh
😭😭😭😭 your money can't save you, but your relationship with government can provide you with a place ticket for escape.. as long as they believe YOU are an ASSET for them.
And it continues. It has been thusly, and will continue to be that way.
That's not a sentiment that will solve anything. Natural balance leans towards some migration, just not all migration being permitted. A complete cut is very bad for culture, politics, health, ethics, business, trade, art. The mistake is that people equate multicultural goodness with open borders, which our security of govt/business/political-savvy has major weaknesses against when there are major political powers in the world who do not like your state/politics. They have power to use it as an attack vector. But that doesn't mean shutting down borders solves anything. Just being aware is the best defense we can have, allow moderated migration. Be aware of the pains of those on both sides. Be aware of the business opportunities available through trade/art/culture. Be aware of the wolves.

Tbh, you can get lost in the world of your garden; time passes so differently there
Books and written language are the greatest informational tools of all the centuries.
Google translation of her post on Instagram: For my mother and aunts ... My mother and aunts spent many years of their lives behind the carpet, from childhood to the years they experienced motherhood. The weavers built a ladder to bring themselves and their families to what they are now and will be. I'm proud of having such strong women in my life. Women who, believing in better tomorrows, bought the hardest and continue to buy ... Your hard-working hands are the most beautiful hands ....
We do need to consume less drinking water, but somehow I don't think this will solve this problem.
Literally happened to a friend. Her house was older and NOT in a flood zone. Developer put in condos that caused her property to periodically flood when it rained. It was loveable until hurricane Irma came through and her house got 4 ft of water in it. No flood insurance (because again, NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE), but homeowner's insurance refused to pay because it was a flood event. Turns out the permits for the condos were illegally issued because it was pretty clear what works happen to the properties on the downward slope of the ground they built up to build the condos, bus sure couldn't find an attorney to take the case to sue the county and the contractor for the damage.

Yes, they are powerful! Made me think and some made me not so proud to be a human being. These are a call to action for all of us.
To the people saying these made no sense or were "completely wrong"(?) Did you not notice that this is not an American cartoon, these may not be America's problems, but they used to be, and they still are problems in other countries. All like is not like you live in the states, they DO have rampart problems over discrimination of women, their poor populations have no way of bringing themselves out of poverty, most of their children have no access to education. How can you say something didn't make sense or that the message was wrong when in reality you just didn't get it...
⬆️When you try to be funny and you fail...

All I can say is too bad. It's how life is and it's gonna be unfair, I stopped caring cause as long as it isn't me I'm alright. I have my own problems to deal with so I can't afford to care about some stranger's problem. Sure, it's a powerful message but no one will care because as long as it isn't them there isn't a reason to, you did bring awareness but no one is going to do s**t about it.
we live in a society where phone government the social app you when it do it? log by bolb 😭😭😭😭😭
That's not the type of stuff you will find here.
