Dissolution of Discourse

This piece illustrates the fragmentation of political communication in our polarized society, contrasting dark upper layers with lighter bottom areas to represent ideological divides. Blurred middle sections evoke the erosion of nuanced dialogue and common ground, while the structured yet disintegrating bottom pattern mirrors the breakdown of communication channels. Amidst this chaos, a vivid red circle symbolizes isolated viewpoints, and scattered black dots represent disconnected facts and disjointed rhetoric. By depicting how political polarization reshapes our communicative landscape, this piece reflects on whether this dissolution will lead to destruction or serve as a necessary deconstruction for rebuilding healthier discourse.
