Glasnost and Perestroika

A group of people is seen in a boat, holding paddles as they row. All of them bar one are shouting and giving orders with megafones while only a single one actually rows. The background is predominantly black with red and orange shapes. The individuals in the boat are abstract and not visible in detail, as the focus is on the overall scene rather than specific features. The image has a painterly quality, almost resembling a modern work of art. The composition suggests the opposite of sense of unity and teamwork, as the figures are clustered together in the boat and only one is rowing.
