From the mass of thickly laid off paint, there emerge words taken out of context and deliberately crooked.
The clash between the background and the semantic content enhances the impact. The choice of words has
been thought of carefully. They are all related to current ideological and patriotic discussions. Gender play
is an additional device to manipulate meanings. The same adjective has different connotations depending on
whether it is feminine or masculine.
