· The art of using portraits of rival countrymen to convey a message of similarity.
· These pieces were placed in sections of each country where it is hard to avoid not seeing the art

· At first glance, I thought of it as being a mere insect that is carrying ammunition.
· After looking further into it, especially at the subheading, I realized that it had been labelled as the United States.
· According to my interpretation, I see this as labelling the United States as an insect, or better yet, an army of insects that is camouflaged, perhaps to appear other than that of an ally of war, of carrying weapons, or mass destruction.
· I find it funny that the artist uses insect to portray the United Sates because haven’t insects survived everything?
