The motif of this work is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of children fleeing from napalm bombs taken during the Vietnam war (photo by Nick Ut). Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald here are both nothing but symbols of American capitalism and democracy. How can the viewers accept the sight of a young girl shivering from fear in between these two characters with a constant smile on their face (and probably unable to even make crying or angry faces)? The Vietnam of the past is always repeated somewhere in the world. This is a striking print that leaves a heavy pain in the chest.
