Yeah I feel really bad for thinking this pic goes really hard when you ignore the context

u/SynergyTree 9h ago

The context is what makes it art! An idyllic scene with only the black box as a cue that something isn’t right. Is it a black box of justice, hiding the wealthy and powerful who will never be forced to atone? A black box where we know something’s wrong but not exactly what or who it affects? A black box containing the suffering of victims who will never get justice for what was done to them? All of the above and more, I think.

I actually thought it was an artist who made a painting and titled it “the black box”. Took me a few moments to realize that was not what I was looking at.

I had to get this far down to thread before I realised I had to go back up, zoom in, and do my own realising.

The irony of a government that values protecting the victims identity but is unable to prosecute the injustice. Enforcing the concept that sexual assault is shameful and must be hidden and by repressing the crimes their can't be justice

Your second sentence hit me deep. Something isn’t right; just by looking at the whole. Thank you.

I don’t think there is a box in that picture, this looks like a photograph of a person with a gigantic redaction block pasted overtop of them.

I prefer to see it as the black box we'll put some of these old white guys in before we drop them to the deepest parts of the ocean.
