Controversial Illustrations By Polish Artist Reveal The Darker Side Of Modern Society

I was a single parent myself for a while. This illustrates the situation perfectly! I had to row against my ex while having the added weight of the children.

Single mother having to be both mother and father. Be as strong as a mom and dad, be two people to the children, even though it's tough and she's just one woman.

Couples nowadays separate so easily so that they don't even think much about the kid.. no one is looking after the kid here.. :(

I think it's a Widow not a divorce. There's sadness in the portrait, not anger (typically associated with divorces). He still lives within her but she can't feel it and looks back at where she came from. She's alone in her sadness because we can feel connected with technology but when you strip that away and sit in Nature you realize you're alone. Even tho right behind her is the child whom she could connect with. But her Aline's and sadness is preventing that.

1.What a man can do a woman can do attitude. 2.Single mother is both a mother and a father to her children.

It feels like the father died and the mother and child is alone but the husband is there with them in spirit watching over them and helping as best he can.

I am a single parent of three... this picture makes me jealous. I see as They are working together. one pulls the other extends.

What I see is woman who is both Mother and daughter. This is something her father used to do with her. She reconnects with her father who may no longer be living as she continues this tradition with her daughter.

so true :(

Although the woman looks pretty weak, as a single parent, she deep inside possesses the man power...

It got me thinking....was this a depiction of division of labor; or lack there of? The gender role strain I.e a woman goes to work, she brings her kids with her, in fact she biting stem everywhere. Conversely when a man goes to work, he works.

The beauty of this image demonstrates the struggle of both the mother and father. What I find interesting is the child's expression.

I feel Fed up by cliché. Women Can push opposite as well, they are not the lonely Heroes all the time, my Story proofs It

i see what happening now at these days. Almost every couple with kids are separate, both sailng the same way to help them grow up, but he mother have the custody. I dont see guilty any of them, is just a consecuense of the society we live.

love this painting.

Sed Reality

Maybe its that she was once a man and is rowing in her freedom.

Makes me angry at all the dads who choose not to be in their child's life's or are not allowed by sick mothers.

Very striking

The father is dead

Perfect visual explanation.

Man always alone fighting to move everything in the right direction but no one notices him - only children are near their mother.

some man just want to watch the world burn

The words on there are the days of the week in case you were wondering.

Or a boy growing into society's definition of what a man is supposed to be. What our definition of masculinity has evolved into.

That moment when you realize you're using a phone to look at this...

America

brain

time puppet

We are made of Earth. When we die we will return to the earth. But, in the meantime, life is a beautiful dance.

We put so many thoughts and feelings into little compartments, putting off dealing with them.....

Big brother is watching...

We say in Poland that "someone is making water out of your brain", when you are manipulated.

We all grow in different directions.

The foundation of society is eroding.

Under the cloak of aging lies beauty and wisdom

Our thoughts are manipulated

Only in nature can you grow

I believe that the circle with the man "traped" inside is the routine we have each day. But only the human. The birds appear to be free at all times...and the difference between them is just...sad

I see a child controlling his elder self. The moon is a terrific allegory for the lens of fantasy through which we viewed adulthood.

Inside: i am still a young girl, wishing to fly away. To escape. Why were birds born with wings, and not I?

"I miss the BRAINS down in Aaaaafricaaaa"

Business and capitalism are just means in which society can unload aggressiveness and the desire of dominance. Deep inside we are still all animals.

The masks we wear

How we are too focused on ourselves to see what's in front of us.

Using money to get to higher grounds

You've got "male"?

Nature is stronger than what people build ;)
