This artwork is a reflection of our modern day society , it's tells and shows how our laws and how our government's action bring us to what we are today. It shows how justice is no longer at it's justifiable action towards the our people and that we ,our own freedom of choice blinds us from seeking the truth and that we more tend to believe in false information thus burying the facts into the abyss of nowhere like an empty desert. The people we choose to lead us controls and regulates our freedom making us a puppet to their hands and selfless actions that only benefits the few. These cracks may leads us to a total break down of our own nation and we must to stop it from breaking. Our mother land is pealing of care and need of saving, for us and for the next generation to have a better future.
