The theme is child abuse... Except not in the way that you're thinking about it... It's speaking out against it by showing the extreme depiction of it in a controlled art manner.
- brippalcharrid 4y agoThat's an interesting take. What leads you to think that the artist is speaking out against child abuse, though? What do you we have to go on here that would allow us to assign that intention to them?
