Mao. This piece is about going beyond the pop-arting of famous figures and taking it one step further to criticize the inherent hypocrisy of communist totalitarianism. Mao, whos party preached and enforced sober, moralistic, and thrifty living, was known to have many mistresses. The piece is meant to bring an almost mythical figure back down to the human and carnal level.
