Contemporary paradox

This painting would like to give shape to the sense of confusion that is often present in our days: incomprehensible bureaucracy, incoherent rules and questionable but automatically accepted priorities for the quiet life. The scene has bright colors but it is chaotic and paradoxical: the authority responsible for both the control of the rules and the safety is absent; behind the lifeguard’s empty chair you can see abandoned life-saving tools and a completely out of control situation which, however, no one seems to notice.
