I'm not really certain if I had a concept, really. I didn't like any of the candidates in my countries election, but when a reality TV star won, I think I just felt like it was going to be in the end. I started just painting the mushroom cloud, but the silhouettes in the foreground was actually an after thought. I was going to do flowers, but thought people might have more impact. Especially with the little girl and teddy bear.
