The story behind The Abuse of Power
The Abuse of Power is part of Ana Violeta's Extinction series and represents the destructive consequences of humanity's misuse of power. The artwork critiques how those in positions to shape policies and laws often create systems that do not prioritize sustainability or the well-being of the planet.
Instead, these decisions contribute to the degradation of our environment and the self-destruction of humanity. Through this piece, Ana Violeta illustrates the long-term damage caused by policies that fail to consider ecological balance, urging viewers to reflect on the need for responsible and sustainable governance.
