Pokket Mowse has a special talent when it comes to shining a light on social and global issues and he always manages to do it in the simplest way. This particular artwork highlights all that is wrong with the USA. The country that was once seen as the place where dreams come true now has a completely new image in terms of global perspectives.
This piece highlights both local and international problems that America faces today. It shows us an oversized America, with a hand busy eating fast food and the other hand on a machine gun. Each element offers a true, yet heartbreaking story. The place of dreams is now seen as the place with obese, unaware, and unhealthy individuals. The entire population might not be living the "Murican" life, but too many are surely fixated on wasting their lives this way. This is certainly a piece that is close to our heart and we believe others should learn from it.
