Original artwork description:

I stumbled across this original stone carving during what at the time was my allotted 'one hours exercise' for the day. In France that was also restricted to a 1km bubble of the area surround my apartment.

I couldn't help but notice the buffoonish nature and empty eyes of the carving as it sat above the entrance of a bank, didn't it just look like the hapless bin fire that is the man in control of the UK?

An all round critique of the no longer veiled contempt that many right wing authoritarian governments have for the populace. The 'one rule for you and another for me' was solidified in the UK when Johnson came out against the anti-racism protests taking place around the country, claiming he 'would not support those who flout social distancing.' However two weeks before he had done just this, covering for his aide Dominic Cummings' corona virus tour of Britain.

It's time to change, in fact it was time to change long ago. I hope the tapping of a million little hammers will finally breach the dam that the greedy and unjust have erected to hold us back. Their greatest fear is that we will discover our strength numbers, a tidal way of people power.
