This work alludes to the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, by supporters of Donald Trump. It depicts the literal fall of Trump on the steps of the Capitol in an attempt to escape justice.
We are often not sufficiently aware of the different perceptions that exist about leaders around the world. The restoration of democracy does not come naturally. It also requires a fair view of the world among our constituents. Voting insight is more difficult to achieve than voting rights.
Was it a coup or a popular uprising? Only history will judge it.
