There are so many things wrong with society that we don’t realize.
We have turned blind towards problems that are slowly causing our downfall. Greed has become so normal that we don’t even see anything wrong in it anymore. Since everyone is doing it, it must be acceptable, right? Wrong. We have turned a blind eye towards things that we need to start addressing. Just because something is normal in society does not mean it is right. People are getting more depressed by the day and the reasons sometimes trace back to little details in our everyday life where we have to meet society’s standards or function in a completely corrupt society. It is time we talk about these issues.
An Argentinian illustrator that goes by the name “Al Margen” has created some thought-provoking illustrations that will make you second guess the things that are considered normal in our society but are highly toxic in reality. The illustrations have a very dark theme but they all make you think about the patterns we blindly follow on a regular basis. Scroll down below to see some of his incredible work:
