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.

A 22 year old woman was killed ("heart attack" per government) because she was wearing her hijab incorrectly. (A lock of hair was showing.)

Maybe it means how many women are still oppressed? But I don't get why she is sailing on top of them?

This is incredibly Islamophobic and offensive to the many women who decide they want to put on the hijab.

No it's not. In Iran, women don't have that decision. It is about Iran, not about some woman in a more liberal nation wanting to wear her hijab.

    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.

    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

    Reminds me of something we used to say in the 80's or 90's "a tree farm is not a forest." It's very difficult to get a forest back, especially since timber companies don't give a c**p about forests, they'd cut them all down if you let them.

    I mean... Sometimes you just do all you can and still can't do everything, but you can't hold it against yourself. I grew up in a single parent household and I watched my dad struggle to do everything for us for years, and yeah we grew up with the TV babysitter, but he told us each and every day he loved us and he did his best to acknowledge the important moments even if he couldn't be there for all of them. And it was enough. He taught us to work hard for the things and people important to you, and that was long as your doing your best then you're doing it right. So don't stress too much on it. You're doing the best you can for your son.

    Let me share a new perspective... I took this to mean 'dressing up and sitting at a table' reflects how we view ourselves, which can be positive i.e. self respect etc, or can be negative i.e. egotism etc, but at the end of the day we're all relying on that man on the bench for food. In other words we're all the same.

    This world looks boring at best, dangerous at worst. Sailing in the endless fog of a homogeneous aquarell fog... Also, as sad as it is, a huge amount of books written atm are books written by right wing numbnuts, conspiracy yokels and straight up fascists. Or just by grifters that want someones money. I love books, but the whole "Books are the best and writing makes new worlds" thing is superficial, pretentious and/or naïve.

    The modern education system doesn't try to teach anything. It just makes you memorize things to pass a standardized test. It doesn't encourage actual interest in learning, because teachers have to follow a set teaching plan instead of finding ways to make things engaging. And then they keep lowering the passing grade and wonder why there are adults with the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader.

    Why would aliens be more advanced? They could just discover steam power whilst we talk here. Also, even we ourselves are far more advanced than to not know that the bloody string has to be tense. Also, I suspect that far advanced aliens, should they want to have contact with us, would be able to figure something out.
