A piece done in Acrylics, it shows Uncle Sam, his face hidden behind a nuclear bomb to represent deceit. I got the idea from Rene Magritte's "The Son of Man", a piece in which a man is standing in front of the sea, with an apple in front of his face. The flag on his side is supposed to represent freedon, while the nuclear explosion on the other represents oppression. The Wasteland that he is 'floating' over is supposed to show the desolateness that Uncle Sam's acts lead to. The rhombus shape was chosen to guide the eye better around the painting. The captions add more irony into the mix: "Uncle Sam Wants YOU!To Support Human RIGHTS!
