BUREAUCRAT

There are politicians who are forgotten and others who are remembered but, most of the time, they are remembered for how poorly they have carried out their duties. In the newspapers you can find portraits of these people, often indicating the position they hold. However, it is common that because of space saving (or for some other reason) the positions are not well described in the captions, so it is not uncommon to find descriptions that at first glance seem ridiculous, such as: "Block Chief", "Property Registrar", "Prosecutor against Plagiarism", "Constitutionalist". Based on this idea, I decided to erase the faces of these characters and leave the image without a face and the position with which they were described in the newspaper. In this way, the identity of the subjects is annulled, leaving them described and reduced to a position that sometimes does not even make sense.
