The year is 2084, a full hundred years have gone by since the totalitarian rule of Oceania has taken over the world, except, the world is vacant save one prole. This painting alludes to one of MODERN LIBRARY’s 100 Best Novels 1984 written by George Orwell. One can see dingy, empty concrete compounds on the sides of a tar path that leads to a watch tower—except there arena subjects nor spectators. Perpetual war has left the world bereft of population, only one human left standing, who is reaching out to shutter the all-seeing eye. The work conjures the imagery of a future that could result from the spread of despotic ideology and captures the essence of desolation.
