Description:
It's a black and white image. The viewer gets the sense that they're in a car-the bottom shows a steering wheel, the edges form the interior of the car and on the top edge there is a rearview mirror that gives us insight on what's "behind" the car (an agrarian image of a few people tending to the land on the left as others lounge and rest on the right). In front of the "car" we have an image of a ravaged land; there are people struggling and pulling rummage on the left and two skeleton like "soldiers" moving foward, one of them is looking at the viewer while pointing at the ravaged image ahead of them.
