Depicting skeletal figures on horseback—one wearing a hat reminiscent of Uncle Sam and adorned with symbols of capitalism like a dollar sign—this piece critiques industrialized nations' role in environmental degradation. The horses trample over a scarred landscape filled with pollution, oil drums, and human skulls, symbolizing the destructive impact of greed and exploitation. The background features ominous factory smokestacks and dark clouds, reinforcing a sense of ecological doom. The skeletal rider opposite, dressed in indigenous regalia, suggests a clash between industrial consumption and traditional, earth-honoring cultures. Overall, the print conveys a stark warning about the consequences of environmental neglect and the unsustainable pursuit of profit.
