"The artwork of an exploded Tin Can, a metaphor for the inner workings of the minds of Scammers, Cheaters and to some extent Politicians. This visual representation captures the clockwork scheming, chaos and complexity of their egos and desires, suggesting that their motivations are driven by self-interest rather than a genuine commitment to public service. It symbolizes the self-serving nature of their minds. The intricate, mechanical details within the Can represent the calculated and regimented approach, focused on personal gain. The piece highlights the disparity between their promises and actions, urging viewers to reflect on disillusionment and the need for accountability."
