Description
Depicts a poster showing a photomontage of a skeleton wearing a gas mask standing on top of a partially destroyed earth in the midst of nuclear fallout. In one hand the skeleton holds a plane dropping yet more bombs on a destroyed and ravaged earth, in the other hand is a placard reading The New World Order. The poster creates a stark image of the devastation and consequences of nuclear warfare and was produced in response to the First Gulf War (1990-91). .
