With no regard for consequences, they plunge headfirst into the treacherous sea of perdition. This artwork serves as a powerful metaphor for the dangers of unchecked power and misguided leadership. It echoes the timeless tale of individuals who prioritize personal gain over collective well-being, ultimately leading to ruin.

May they inspire us all to strive for betterment individually and collectively so that our future may be one free from self-imposed catastrophe.
