Drawing on the tradition of Mexican street broadsides and the aesthetic of José Guadalupe Posada. Created in a linocut style, the print features a corrupt politician or oligarch—balancing atop a globe while tossing buildings and institutions into the air, evoking chaos and disregard for societal structures.

Surrounding this central character are ghostly, anguished figures that appear to suffer under the weight of injustice, consumerism, and power. The piece includes a quotation from Isaiah 10:1–2, condemning unjust laws and the deprivation of rights, reinforcing its message of social critique. By referencing Gaceta Callejera—a historic format used to inform and mobilize the public—Hazelwood connects past struggles with contemporary issues, continuing a lineage of resistance through art.
