"Strangle: A Visual Journey Through Power, Struggles, and Resistance" This thought-provoking collection of artworks and historical references invites us to reflect on the concept of "strangle, " not only as a physical act but also as a metaphor for various forms of oppression. From an anti-American capitalism poster that challenges the dominant economic system to scenes depicting the life of Saint Nicholas in 14th-century tempera paintings, we are confronted with different narratives that shed light on power dynamics. Robbie Coltrane's recent encounter with a frog in his throat serves as a reminder that even seemingly harmless situations can make us feel suffocated. Meanwhile, an untitled etching from 1919 captures our attention with its enigmatic imagery, leaving room for interpretation about what might be strangling our society. In contrast to these abstract representations, pen and ink artwork titled "Strangle thy sins" confronts us directly with our own inner demons. It urges us to acknowledge and overcome personal struggles that may hold us back from growth and liberation. Moving into history, an engraving from "The New and Complete Book of Martyrs" depicts Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey being strangled while others face brutal punishments. This chilling image reminds us how power can be abused by those in authority. On a lighter note, the satirical engraving "DUTCH NIGHTMARE or the fraternal hug returned with a Dutch squeeze" humorously portrays political tensions during 1813. It highlights how conflicts between nations can sometimes lead to figurative strangulation rather than resolution. Exploring further depths beneath the surface, we encounter French and German sappers meeting underground while excavating tunnels—a vivid representation of hidden struggles within societies throughout history. Amidst this diverse collection is an untitled watercolor featuring a man wrestling a snake—an allegory for overcoming personal fears or external threats that seek to strangle one's freedom or potential.
