A somber painting of a father and child in a run-down setting, with government buildings and blurred figures in the background. Overlayed text reads, "HAPPENING, AMERICA? WHO ARE WE REALLY LEAVING BEHIND?"

The background could show a run-down neighborhood or a family in distress—maybe a parent looking worriedly at an empty refrigerator or overdue bills piled on a table. In the foreground, a weary single father holding a child’s hand, symbolizing the fight for custody and basic survival. Nearby, a blurred image of government buildings or politicians in suits, perhaps with their backs turned or engaging in indifferent behavior, representing elected officials disconnected from families’ struggles. The overall color tone could be somber, muted, to convey hardship and neglect. A subtle but clear overlay of question text like “What’s happening, America?” or “Who are we really leaving behind?” to provoke thought and reflection. See more
