The painting Game is a key work within the exhibition, as it gives a possible interpretation to the other works. It portrays a roulette table in motion, with the ball about to be dropped by a player poised to risk everything on an uncertain outcome. While there is an evident connection to the risky decisions made by politicians that affect ordinary people's lives, the painting signifies more than that—it symbolises a significant shift in the times. The roulette table traditionally evoked images of opulence and exclusivity, reminiscent of the allure of European casinos and elitist social clubs. However, now, gambling has become increasingly accessible through the internet. Transcending societal boundaries, it has become a plague that runs at all levels of society. The fading hues and colour palette of this painting on canvas amplify the charm of an elite that is gradually declining in favour of the globalised modern world.
