I'm so fucking sick of western art curators describing every piece of socialist art from the Eastern bloc as a cryptic message against their government.

Some of the stuff he did on Syrian chemical weapons and the Nordstream bombing are treated as lesser in quality, to the point where she even edits him to make it sound like he has abandoned his work on Syrian chemical weapons.
