Can we flush it?

XXL medallion artwork 'Can we flush it?'

The XXL Medallion ‘Can we flush it?’ refers to global power structures and dubious alliances that lead to chaos and aimlessness. At its center is a goofy dragon on the toilet, symbolizing evil, deception, and a lack of leadership. While those in power enrich themselves and collaborate like “lovebirds,” the common people are left to deal with the consequences. Displays of power, inequality, and manipulation play a major role, while opponents are literally locked up. Many people want to put an end to this situation and “flush” the dragon, but the question remains whether that is still possible. The petrol color symbolizes both industry and fire hazards: an explosive and unstable global situation.
