The trees that represent the liberators of the Americas (Bolivar, Washington, San Martin) and also masculinity because of their vertical structure. The three trees also inherently inscribe religion into the frame and by this they also call on the hors-champ, an absolute off-screen behind the picture. These trees were once proud and had significant colors, but now they are withering away, diluting their greatness and they can't even stand by themselves anymore, needing the help of wooden structures - which also brings us back to the conflict of man against technology. This can further be seen in the empty spaces, the shopping center, and the woman with no identity - as an undecipherable minority - blankly stares into the distance, longing for more consumerism. As a final thought: the way the trees are presented shows the subjugation of our nature and man under the cruelty of the capitalistic machine, something that was supposed to give us happiness has left us empty and sad.
Good work Anon, keep it up.
