Is it Religion, TV or sex that is the opium of the people? Happiness.... if at all possible have your brain removed at birth.

My. Much to see and ponder on this one. Socialist idealism with Stalin, breasts and on and on - and that huge mouth. One of your strongest work, requiring I spend more time here - yes, bravo.

I always have to look and think what is there in this piece that draws me to it. This one is filled with warm and energetic colors and the folds of the forms are wonderful. Your work is a delight.

looks like someone has some politial items on the brain... that's my take on it.

I agree with everyone here, a reminder of the old socialist realist propaganda, MRIs of our brains (!) and a beautiful piece of art as well, with folds and furrows and your artistic sensibilities coming through even as you seem to be skewering agiprop (which we're drowning in, here in the US). The Stalinist photo adds something terrifying to the piece, as do the caricatured faces. I wonder if you know the political art of the 20th C. well, because you certainly capture its essences. And yet, as some of your commenters say, you've made beauty here—the unavoidable consequence of having a deep artistic heart and eye which spill into anything you do. The folds are sensuous, the hidden faces & organic forms equally so, and your overall sense of pattern & its endless musical variations is ever present, as is your refusal to make symmetry of your image, even though the image appears symmetric at first blush. You appear to be re-creating constantly...A fascinating image, deep, disturbing and genuinely enticing.

The people's happiness looks kinda angry and distorted. Intelligent and ironic (plus you managed to work in Stalin!!!).
