It is intended to alert the past, so that what happened in the communist period in Romania and beyond, which has hurt entire generations, is not to be forgotten and not to be repeated. Communist utopia has governed the Eastern European countries for decades, "on a mental model of a future state of things" which has proved to be profoundly destructive of human values and destiny. Unhappiness around us has raised almost natural questions about what happiness is. The painting is geared towards looking for existential meaning and saving the individual.
