Painting Reviews (12)

The state abandons its duty to the citizens in difficult times like natural disasters e.g. typhoons, heat waves, bushfires. Hundreds of lives [of poor, mainly] are lost unnecessarily.

Global financial crisis of 2008 exposed the indifference of the states from europe to America.

On-going wars are another example.
