The roadmap of America by Enrique Chagoya is not geographically correct. It is, however, egotistically correct.

As you can see, the United States of America vastly outsizes all of the other countries and even continents that make an appearance on the map. This is exactly how America sees itself on a global scale. If a country could buy a car, America would buy a matte black Hummer H3. That is to say that on the douche scale, America, especially in light of recent neo-Nazi events, has cranked it up to 11.

Roadmap was inspired by the “road map for peace”  - a plan that was supposed to solve Israeli-Palestine conflict (but obviously didn’t). It was planned by the “Quartet on the Middle East”: a group consisting of the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations. But when no one was looking, George Bush told everyone that the United States did everything themselves, which the world was not expecting. It was, in fact, pretty ~classic.~

So in this lithograph, we’ve got all the ‘murican essentials - dead whales, tanks, grenades, Uncle Sams, Jesus, oil wells, and fighter planes, which in part make up the foundation of this country. There are also two highly distorted figures placed in both bottom corners of the work. One of these figures has some very unnatural things popping out of his exposed brain, including, but not limited to, a mushroom cloud , a bomb, Mickey Mouse ears, and a syringe. He has many eyes and many noses which presumably mutated from the toxic waste left lying beside him. The other figure may or may not have the same exposed brain, but we’ll never know because it’s covered by a headdress. She does have the same number of eyes, noses and mouths though. All in all these people are pretty messed up and need some serious help, which with the way things have been going, America is certainly not going to give them.
