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.
Ask you provider for "Internet Essentials" it's only $9.95 a month and they provide the highest available speed to you. this is strictly for internet access, not TV. They will give you options for how you might qualify: food stamps, social security income, "Elderly and Disabled", Section 8 housing. If you are receiving any of these they will begin your service and ask you to send copies of documents which you can do at a store where you will be given the latest and best equipment which they provide free of charge. Whenever there is new equipment you can take in the old for a switch out. Plus they provide installation. No charge.
Good luck getting disability if you have autism or ADD or any mental illness aside from severe schizophrenia and after they beat you down with antipsychotics, also good luck getting it if your transgender, basically if your not crippled or criminally insane your not getting disability. And trust me autism is every bit as crippling as a physical illness, Also good luck getting any benefits at all even food stamps I have autism, ADD and brain damage from certain things I won't get into and I cannot get food stamps or disability. I had to shoplift to feed myself and now have a criminal record I also cannot afford a lawyer and I have wealthy family members (millionaire) who refused to help me, let's my life fall apart and let me to in a jail cell. America is a joke I would have been much better off in Scandinavia.

This effects me often. High speed internet isn't available where I live. Thankfully I get slower internet. How can you apply for a job today without internet? No one makes paper copies of applications anymore.
I live in a rural area. Moved to get away from the crime in Birmingham. I feel this pain. It's outrageous what we have to pay for internet service and satellite TV that doesn't work about 50% of the time. My child suffers as well because of virtual learning days every month.
think globally the more opportunities everyone has the better our world becomes
It's not even a financial reason for folks in my community who don't have internet. The internet providers can not provide them internet because of where they live. My inlaws live less than a half mile from me and don't have access to internet by any internet provider. It's not always because of money. I live in Michigan.
This has become so so visible with the pandemic and school going to online. I didn't realize how many people in my community do not have access to internet.
Coming from a rural area, it took them forever to finally allow us to have WiFi. Kept getting every excuse under the sun. Meanwhile, other places already had wifi for quite awhile.
I read an article recently saying the number of companies keeping WFH permanently are just going to create a new segment of job inequality. They forgot that companies are only helping along what already exists.
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...

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.
