Poking the Spectacled Bear

No, there is no spectacled bear in the painting. But the imagery reminded me of South American histories, and the enormous crimes carried out by the conquistadors and other colonial forces.

Don’t poke the bear. Don’t upset things beyond your control.

(Btw: the spectacled bear is the only South American bear)
