Above water level 2
The painting "Above Water Level" from the series "Insignificant" conveys the idea that with the dictator's happiness and exercise of power, some must suffer. The champagne glasses in the painting symbolize celebration and joy, yet the glass contains blood, a reminder of the dictator's cruel actions. The spreading of the blood in the liquid highlights that the unjust abuse of power has a domino effect, not only on the lives of the people directly affected but also those who are indirectly affected. The painting ultimately shows that the dictator's inflicts more suffering to reinforce his power and enjoy his authority, yet he cannot fully enjoy it as he is haunted by his actions. The painting thus conveys the idea that with the dictator's happiness, some must suffer and that the dictator's power is ultimately fleeting and insignificant.
