This print really catches my attention. The message the artist is trying to portray speaks loudly. The lack of color in this peace gives it a unhappy feeling. The bold black against the tame background makes a dramatic point. This piece says that we need to break free of the commercial world around us. We are trapped in a world that revolves around money and material objects. This print is very simple but in its simplicity it speaks volumes. I really like that the cage is made out of a barcode. At first the viewer might think it is just a picture of a leopard breaking free form a cage but then as they realize that really it is a barcode and not just bars of a cage, the meaning of this picture becomes more relevant to the human race.
