Art is a perfect way to communicate and highlight all the issues and problems that arise. It is also a means to open people's eyes and let them finally see things that were swept under the rug and not touched for the longest time. 

German artist Steffen Kraft, also known as Iconeo, creates thought-provoking illustrations that enable one to self-reflect and to see the world from a different point of view. Bored Panda has shared his artworks with you pandas before (you can find them here). Since that time the artist created some more profound illustrations. His drawings are impressive and communicate important messages that come from observing our modern society. Which one is the most relatable to you?

Then don't. Make something. Invite people over. Give people experiences than a bunch of stuff they could buy themselves.

My policy is to do maintenance messages. Just go down the list of people and anyone you haven't messaged for over a month, send one asking after them.

It would make a big difference. If you are somewhere with no public transport - or sketchy P.T., then really, you need one. I mean, your spouse is having a heart attack, and you know ambulance will take like an hour to get there, you need a car. Ditto if you have a job interview. PT will never get you to a job interview on time.

I don't think it's implying optimism. I think it is implying indifference. I'm the first panel the boy is fearful, in the second he's curious. In the third he's playing in the wave, indifferent to the dangers.

People driven by fear, usually fail permanently, and die in misery.

I don't know... studies show that horror movie fans are better able to cope with hardships/anxieties than other people. (I know that's not your point, but I am tired of this argument and just want it to f*****g stop... take the pandemic seriously please! You don't have to be afraid of the virus to want to do your part in protecting those around you...)

I know this might not be the artist's meaning and it's a bit negative, but the first thing I thought of was the pandemic. The first panel is when everyone was freaking out wearing full hazmat suits and bucket helmets, the second is that it became "normal" and we all were like "What the heck has happened to our lives and what should we do?", and the third is over half of us going crazy and riding it out by protesting for our "freedom" from vaccines and masks and using it as an excuse to riot, incite violence, "enjoy" racism, and generally become a bunch of uncontrollable heathens. Sorry, not a negative person, just sayin'.
