Untitled 205

This satirical drawing repurposes the Gulliver myth into a modern allegory of a giant rendered powerless—not by ropes, but by the accumulating cords of “politics,” “corruption,” “disunity,” and “violence” that cinch his body into civic paralysis. The spare, newsprint palette and brisk linework sharpen the sting of its humor, as tiny figures swarm with contradictory commands—“help is near,” “do something!”—turning public discourse into a chorus that immobilizes rather than liberates. By placing the weight of the 21st century at the edge of the scene, the composition suggests an oncoming future that will not be met with heroism, but with a collective inability to coordinate will and action.
