Like 'Bosnian Girl', '30 Years After' after also features a portrait of the artist. In full color, it has the aesthetic properties of images found in glamour magazines. White gloved hands with fingers dripping in lavish jewelry cover the face, making the woman faceless and blind. The sometimes brutal capitalism which has gained a foothold in many countries of the former Eastern Block has ultimately not led to a paradise where everyone can achieve happiness or at least be able to earn an adequate living. The image symbolizes how promises of wealth, glamour, and beauty can lead to blindness, facelessness and a loss of individuality.
