In my search for works of art that accentuate the darkest parts of nature and humankind, I found this piece. It symbolized the oppression of women in Islam. As such, it is also meant to expose the ugliness and corruption of modern day politics as a whole. The lightbulb, which when lit up would usually indicate a new idea, is much darker than it would be turned off, which shows that there are no new ideas or strides to be made in politics. The dark cloak covering the lightbulb further negates any chance of progress to be made in getting rid of the corruption that is ever present in modern day politics. Overall, there is very little, if any hope to be made for positive change.
