Description

This is a melange of the famous Geronimo portrait superimposed with the picture of two white boys playing "Cowboys and Indians". Typically the " Indian" is tied up and the "cowboy" is holding a gun on him in a familiar stereo type from a white perspective. To me Geronimo is Father Time looking at humanity forever playing war games, perpetuating injustice, destruction and never progressing beyong greed, selfishness and myopia. Its as if he is looking to the future and seeing that nothing has changed since his time, perhaps it never will. Infact it is worse as it has become a parody of itself. Perhaps humanity will forever be trapped in a teenage mindset unable to grow up and think of the greater good.
