| Through the use of a rotating cast of symbols that include warhorses, slave ships, swarms of birds, Masonic pyramids, stunned elephants, stripped forests and more, Schoultz renders scenes that are both socially aware and critical. Themes such as class inequality, blind consumerism, militarism, and ecological waste are presented to the viewer to digest.
