World Hunger Analysis

Judging by the image, the artist is trying to depict world hunger and how it is a growing crisis yet countries with food that are well off are not making an initiative to change it. The image portrays an obese white male that is crushing a malnourished black male. It also shows the white male with food and a remote while the black male has a bandage with blood on his left arm. With this, the artist is trying to get his argument across to the audience and make the audience feel sympathy for people that are not in as good of a position as others.
To begin with, the artist has chosen a spherical design for both the bodies to fit into and that it is surrounded by a black background. This could be taken as a representation of Earth, itself, in space. The black background goes to add not only a meaning to represent space but also the idea behind what the artist is trying to depict. It shows a dark image, an image that no one wants to face but it’s still there. It defines the picture and gives it more reasoning on why other people should help. The sphere on the other hand, goes to show that a majority of the world’s food is eaten by “whites” or people from developed countries. This can be interpreted because the white male in the picture is taking up more than three-fourths of the sphere, and as stated before, the white male is very obese while the black male seems malnourished. The black male represents those in nations that don’t have it as good and thus why he only occupies a small amount of space.
In addition, the white male has no curiosity or interest to even think of helping those who are in need of help. He has his food on his belly and a TV remote in his hand. To him, if he’s okay then so be it for the rest of the world. This is a common issue in modern day developed nations. Many people go all day without ever thinking of those who may actually need help or even food, a necessary ingredient to live. What the artist is trying to tell his audience
