For centuries art has been used as a tool for telling the human story. What we look like, what we do, artistic expressions of our society – all are encompassed in centuries worth of art.
Now is no different. We see in film and music today people calling out various aspects of our society that need to be observed. Whether it is bands talking about the prison like nature of our world, or films drawing upon the underlying consciousness that makes up all of life, the reflection triggers are there.
It’s no secret that in our society today we are faced with many challenges that are long overdue for change. In fact, humanity is being challenged heavily to deal with those changes… now. It’s part of an overall shift in consciousness sweeping its way across our world.
The following drawings by Al Margen offer an opportunity to reflect on what our society has become. What do we do with these feelings as they arise from looking at these images? Begin with yourself. How do you feel about the images you see? Are you contributing to what they are representing? What can you do to transform yourself and your own behaviors when it comes to what you see below?
Through acting on this transformation yourself, from a peaceful nonjudgmental or damning way, you inspire others to do the same. It’s one thing to simply look at these images and be amused, it’s another to begin acting on what they represent.
Let’s choose to act. Change starts within.
