About this work

This image is a chaotic black-and-white scene packed with people, animals, and strange machines. At the center, a towering figure in a crown stands on a rocky platform, surrounded by smoke and chaos. Below, a crowd of people and beasts moves in a frenzy—some run, others fight or collapse. The sky is swirling with clouds and eerie shapes, like a storm of shapes and symbols. The artist used a photocopy style, giving it a rough, layered look. The mix of violence and religious imagery feels deliberate, almost like a protest.
