Where the futuristic vision in Dystopia # 2 depicts the prediction of an advanced utopian society, Dystopia # 3 shows what is more common today; destruction, chaos, war and death.
Korderas pays homage to Malala Yousafzai, the young Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for trying to attend school and subsequently became an icon around the world for the importance of education. Here she is in a library surrounded by books representing her desire and determination to have an education. The red dots on the book on her chest suggest sniper dots, and can be illuminated when light comes through the windows of this library.
