This image by Jonas Bendiksen portrayed in his book "Satellites" depicts the communist regieme that formally had a strong grip around the USSR. The face of Joseph Stalin reminds me of the book "1984" by George Orwell as he watches on through a TV screen as a women sews in a dull lit room.The shadows creap in as there seems to be no way out, no freedom. I feel that the lighting depicts the dark power that Stalin had over the people towards the end of his years as dictator.
