Art is not just about beauty. One of its greatest powers is precisely the ability to reveal the realities of the world without having to use absolutely any words, thus crossing the borders of language limitations.

Polish illustrator, Pawel Kuczynski's work does exactly that. In an intelligent and creative way, the artist addresses social, political, and economic issues of global importance. Ridiculing our obsessive relationship with the virtual world, he opens up a series of questions. Pawel's work has been previously featured on Bored Panda and you can find more of his illustrations by clicking here, here, here, here, and here.

There's actually a lot going on here. The white dove (Peace) is mechanical and is being "recharged" by the child (innocence, ignorance). The soldiers are all the same, yet fighting each other (world unity vs. patriotism/nationalism). That's what I see.

Different interpretations, it would be interesting to know what the artist had in mind.

Maybe it symbolizes how the armed services defend the innocent so they can have peace but those they're defending are too ignorant to see it and treat it like a game. The standing solider has it's back to the kid like it's defending it from the other soldiers. The kid is playing with a toy dove, the dove being the symbol for peace, but their little helmet has slid down to hide their eyes, making it so they can't see what they're doing or what the army men are doing

With the current inflation rates it will soon be cheaper to heat up by burning notes than to pay your energy bill.

This is an amazing depiction of what life is like in the US. I cannot speak for other countries , but the same people that have ruined your life/ made life much more difficult with their policies will sure be trying to talk to the younger generation about how great they are.

I hate it.... I'm guilty of it and I hate it but when I pull 60 hours a week to pay bills and then do all the errands cooking and cleaning I personally can't entertain my son....

Everyone else is a peon. Just the upper crust gets that extra “ig” to be a worthy pigeon.

Open mind/book = endless possibilities but a closed mind/book = fall off the edge eventually🤷🏾‍♀️
