Illegal Alien’s Guide to Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Abstract

In this print, Enrique Chagoya depicts a world beset with man-made pollution: environmental, social and industrial. The planet is anthropomorphized as a character who has met their wit's end. Each country is drawn in a distorted size proportional to its carbon emissions. Sea creatures fight back by attacking oil tankers and an army of green men follow an elephant into an unknown, but perhaps a more hopeful, future.
