About this artwork

"Look in the eyes of the homeless man, tell me what you see, in the eyes of a jobless man, tell me what you see. What about the eyes of a prisoner, what do you see?
Now you've seen it all, it is time to make up your mind, It is the same question that I ask myself every time.
To be or not to be, a well-fed slave or hungry yet free"
