The Mondrian reference came from a predilection in this region of the world for a surprising number of white male art historians to champion Mondrian as the ultimate 'political' artist. The man in the painting still wears his work shoes. Cut into the background are line drawings depicting heroic men and nurturing women.

The woman's voice encapsulates the male figure, becoming like a uterus surrounding his body, only he is coming out the wrong way - in breach.
