Observations of modern society, our habits and obsessions, are an important tool to have as we try to make sense of a rapidly changing world.

Sometimes we need to step back, slow down and look at ourselves with fresh eyes. Only then do the absurdities and flaws that we seem to have accepted as the norm become evident, and we can begin to question them.

Polish artist Pawel Kuczynski is an absolute master of this, combining powerful social commentary and satire with beautifully illustrated pieces, to make us sit back and reassess our priorities. “From the beginning I found that illustration was the best way to express my observations,” Pawel told Bored Panda. “I always say, that I'm an illustrator of a surrealistic time, so that is reflected in my work.”

Pawel began his career outside of his native Poland in order to focus on more global issues. “I wanted to be understandable for all peoples,” he told us. “I try not to speak directly about current problems. I try to find a wider view. Some times it's too wide! I receive many different kinds of opinion from people, that I'm old communist, liberal, fascist, conservative, anti-technological man, etc.”

In light of recent allegations surrounding Facebook and our data, the unjust wars that continue to rage around us, poverty, inequality and environmental degradation everywhere, these illustrations are highly relevant and deeply thought-provoking. What does Pawel think about the technology that we seem to be so in thrall to? “Facebook and other technological innovations are just the tools. It depends on us, for what kind of purposes we will use them.”

Telling a secret on Facebook is like shouting it out in a mall. I do not think Facebok is too blame for this, as it is like a mall, not like a private home. People need to be educated not to give up common sense once they are online.

Wow, what a facile and reductive view or modern life this "artist" has. I'd be surprised is he were younger than 60, given how much everyone of these illustrations seems like the crabby and confused complaining of an elderly man.

Facebook is entertainment to me and a way to communicate with family and friends who live all over. But im not a moron or a robot. I learned to talk, read, write in cursive on paper before I learned to text strangers. I like interacting in person still and don't trust anything online unless I know the source, then I look at the source, view my local paper, look around me, think... Then I form an opinion. I will not scream out anybody's logo. cause I'm smart and research and I'm also not a sheep

    News travels faster than it ever has been these days. Traditional news coverage is no longer the leading source for many people - instead, normal people at the scene can film their own home coverage of events, leading to faster alerts. Donating is also easier than ever with online funding websites that have lead to countless people getting word out about their problems - people who otherwise would not have been able to survive without the kindness of strangers on the internet. There have always been good and bad people.

    this makes me so sad. I know a lot of people aren't religious on BP, but when I pray with a lot of my friends they can't improvise a prayer on the spot at all. They can only recite prayers they've memorized instead of talking to God like a family member, and they're excited to finish praying so they can get on their phones ):

    Personally, I see this one quite literal. Years ago at an amusement park. There was a ride where I wasn't allowed in to. There was a disabled entrance though. So I though I could go in the ride, still. (Did not know I was not allowed in there at that time yet). It turned out (after waiting for ages for someone to show up) I wasn't allowed into the ride because of safety reasons, but in a special room, they showed me what the attraction was like (it was an indoor attraction). So basically they just showed me what I missed! Make a disabled entrance or just DON'T! But that was just cruel. Because there were attractions with disabled entrances where I was allowed into! I know this is not what the picture is about. But I saw it like this because of that experience.

    Where you get the information from does not matter, just so long as you get the information. Remember that at some point in our past the printed book was a "New fangled quirk" It amuses me to see negative posts about technology and internet on a social media platform on the internet. If the internet is so bad stay off it. Use only books and traditional methods of information gathering and sharing. If everyone who is against the internet stayed off it, it might not be as popular and could have died. If it still remains you will have at least freed up bandwidth for people who enjoy the Internet.

    Perhaps the message is in the choice we make. For certain the internet allows us to go deep if we want but I think the image shows the use of a smart phone rather than a computer because we use our phones for immediate answers rather than more complex searches. The character is looking toward the book perhaps contemplating another option. Does he need the swim aides where he is or is he thinking of going deeper?

Like Wii and Kinect, the concept is an effort to solve the problems of decreased physical activity caused by video games. I give it credit for that.

    Games and apps have control over humans. For example ast his photo shows, Pokemon Go. It basically has you go to other people's homes countries and placed they don't normally go, sometimes even getting hurt or breaking rules.

    This is basically representing autocannibalism of the soul. His wings represent his moral/religious beliefs (think of an angel wing, rather than a bird) whereas the act of cutting off a wing, frying it up and gluttonously eating it represents his willingness to temporarily put aside those same moral/religious beliefs in order to self-affirm his viewpoint on the world. Take for example an intense religious person who is willing to insult, belittle, put-down, and generally express hatred towards others for having a different religious/atheist viewpoint (I'm sure we all know at least one). This is usually in direct opposition to the basic teachings of most religions, often referred to as the "Golden Rule;" to treat others with kindness. They're sacrificing their belief in the "Golden Rule" (the angel wing) in order to validate their individual perspectives (a satisfying meal).

    A bit ironic that Sweden received a lot of Polish immigrants in 1960s and -70s who wished to work here. Maybe we wouldn't have if we had judged every Polack by how a few people behave, like you judge Asian and African immigrants.

    If the first world nations do not like "illegals" perhaps they should stop raping the rest of the world and creating the conditions that cause these "illegal people." For example, Operation Iraqi Liberation (OIL) which was renamed "Operation Iraqi Freedom" because the former moniker was too honest. It destroyed the fragile Mideast peace and created millions of refugees.

    Looks like an astronaut or a scuba diver. These jobs are for exploring unpopular mysteries, or places that intrege us, or to descover a place no one knows much of. That kinda eplains this photo, exploring what we don't know much of, like books, no one really reads them, or it intreges us. this has multiple meanings.

    Communism (and socialism) have shown throughout history not to work in attaining their professed goals of improving the living standards and freedom of fellow human beings. PERIOD. Stalin killed more Russians than Hitler in keeping himself and Communism in power over Russia. Democratic CAPITALISM has always been the best system, for it harnesses human acqisitiveness with the human desire to pursue your own needs and happiness without an overbearing (and almost always incompetent) government of bureaucratic leeches.
