Deep Pocket

The illustration portrays a locally manufactured samosa tucked into a pocket, a symbolic and ironic representation of how corruption is deeply embedded in everyday life. It uses humor, satire, and cultural familiarity to reflect the South Asian practice of offering small bribes, turning something as ordinary as a samosa into a powerful metaphor for influence, privilege, and social behavior.

Through this concept, the artwork highlights the imbalance and irony within societal systems where power often outweighs fairness and integrity. It subtly critiques how, when systems fail, wealth and connections become the driving forces behind action, leaving ordinary individuals dependent on gestures that blur the line between necessity and corruption.
