Lot Essay

The present work is a metaphor of excessive talking and writing without much content. The faint writing that is scribbled onto the canvas continues to the reverse side of the work and at first glance, it oozes a sense of importance and scholarship. Therein lies the intended irony - Yunizar meant to say that these are just babble without meaning but only with a self-assumed importance, a mere farce indeed.
