Hourglass of Oppression - Political Cartoon on Time, Power, and Resistance #1560241 (License: Personal Use)

The image is a symbolic political cartoon where an hourglass contains a mass of red-clad figures raising fists amid chaos at the top, while blood drips down into a teacup holding a distressed man wearing a purple headband-likely referencing a specific political prisoner or marginalized figure. The wooden frame and stark linework emphasize gravity and inevitability, suggesting that time is both weaponized and running out for those under repression. Signed “LATUFF 2011,” it reflects global solidarity movements of the Arab Spring era.
