This image features a hand-painted message on an air pump station reading: “This is your country. Don’t let the big men take it away from you.” It’s a striking and timeless statement, evoking themes of empowerment, resistance, and vigilance against unchecked power. Its placement on a utilitarian object like an air pump adds an unexpected depth and grassroots feel to the message.
