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."
RELATED:
"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.

This one is so sad that adults deceive children for sex. Children are so innocent, they don't deserve to be treated so bad.

Maybe it's the way the predator is slouching, but he kind of reminds me of Igor. Just as evil.

I just saw an Instagram post about this happening to someone's daughter on an app called roadblock(?) that kids use. This image gave me the chills.

This is so scary because it is happening at an alarming rate, worldwide!! Monitoring a child's online time has never been more crucial yet in this day and age it has become darn near impossible! Installing Spector Soft on their devices, which will allow some knowledge into their online activities and who they are chatting with, may be an option. I realize this dives into the realm of invasion of privacy but when it comes to our young children and the despicable amount of predators out there chomping at the bit, I think most parents are willing to do whatever it takes to protect their children! This is a very emotional subject for me. I was 5 yr old, there were no electronic devices in the early 70's. This is every parents nightmare! :-(

I don't think it's meant to be taken literally. It's just illustrating that predators will pretend to be children online in order to gain trust.

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.

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.
