      I think the art lies in the contradiction in this case. My interpretation is the artist feels like the painting on the inside while pretending to be the title, or the label on the outside.

        It’s not hard to see what having a conversation with a normal American feels like if youre marginalized but not visibly identifiable as that class.

        Its just a normal happy person having a normal conversation. This is what they look like once they start talking.

    … This is almost a character / personality element portrait from Disco Elysium.
