The image displays a satirical outdoor art installation or protest display, featuring several large, grotesque effigies set against the cracked, light-colored wall of an old building. The scene suggests a daytime setting with diffuse natural light. The topmost figure, suspended from a black rod, consists of a large, spherical head with exaggerated features. Its wide, grinning mouth is stuffed with what appear to be banknotes, and its eyes are wide and manic. This head is mounted on a suit jacket, white shirt, and red tie, adorned with a small gold emblem on the lapel, caricaturing a figure of authority or wealth. Below this, another large, blocky head, painted in blue and grey tones with prominent rectangular eyes, is visible. This effigy wears a yellow high-visibility vest. Behind it, a white banner is displayed, featuring text in Serbian. The visible text reads: "IV ZAHTEV: POVEĆANJE BUDŽETA ZA VISOKO OBRAZOVANJE U IZNOSU OD 20%" (IV REQUIREMENT: INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR HIGHER EDUCATION BY 20%). This clearly identifies the installation as a protest demanding increased funding for education. Partially obscured by foliage at the bottom, a third, smaller effigy head with a rounded, jowly face, red cheeks, and small green eyes is visible, wearing what appears to be a cap. The foreground and right side of the image are filled with lush greenery. A vibrant bush with numerous red roses stands prominently on the right, while a bush with reddish-purple leaves partially covers the lower figures. The building wall shows signs of age with cracks, and windows are visible in the background on the lower left. The overall scene, located in Belgrade, Serbia, communicates a strong message of political or social commentary, using exaggerated caricatures to criticize perceived issues with governance and public spending on education.
