Dictatorships go under, democracy will flourish...

 ... by MUE BON in Thailand

A small bird with an axe faces a tree made from guns. The message is in the title, and the bird fits the artist’s wider language: UP Magazine describes Pukruk, MUE BON’s recurring bird character, as an avatar for free thought.

💡Bird Fact: Pukruk is powerful because it is limited: in UP Magazine’s profile, MUE BON explains that wings symbolize freedom, but Pukruk is a flightless bird that only gets airborne with help, like spray cans acting as rockets. That makes the character a sharp political messenger: freedom is present, but it still needs a push.
