The disturbing image above makes an argument that regardless of who the presidents are that are running for election, they are all puppet masters and are just used as a face for the country we live in. Meaning that no matter what they say they are going to do for the country, it is just a mask of disguise to what really goes on behind the curtains of the government and is a visual metaphor. It challenges the existing social order by providing an image that goes against their will and purpose of hiding their true colors and what they want us Americans to think. The audience it targets are those who are in agreement with how the government is corrupt and uses presidents as a face and scape goat. The iconicity of the art is a resemblance of the face of The Joker, who is the villain in the movie "The Dark Knight" and uses violence and plays tricks on the city to stir up the pot, making citizens think about if they are in danger. The syntactical indeterminacy that the viewer interprets is that even though they may perceive this image as the president being a puppet and scape goat for the actual people in control of everything, there is no way of proving that this is the precise nature of the relationship between the thoughts of the people and the government.
