Ipcus added that the figures seemed to symbolize repressed and deep-seeded characteristics that those of mixed race may feel.

Others interpreted the art differently.

“I think it’s unique,” said staff member Fletcher Reede. “Obviously the figure ‘Alex’ has worked hard to achieve his status and others are eager to please him. I mean, look, the other person is saying ‘I can. I think it just shows how dedicated others are to those that are better than them.”

Many commented that the piece would have sent a stronger message had it been painted on canvas or perhaps sculpted in bronze.“Attention is immediately drawn to Alex’s face. Just look at the emotion in his eyes. He is obviously concerned about his position and can’t even make eye contact with Kan,” art student Charlie Baileygates said. Another art student, Hank Evans, disagreed strongly saying that he often felt like the man that Alex portrays in the figure; Evans suggested that more men act like Alex and less like Kan, saying, “They are just two sides of the same man. Don’t be that little man.”

Despite disagreement over the intentions of the artist, it is clear that there were many art faux pas while this sketch was created. Regarding the sketching of bodies, it seems that the artist paid little attention to the neck, an important feature of the human anatomy. Many wondered how Alex had managed to build up 20 muscles in his body without making his skinny neck any stronger.

Kan, despite the clear lack of muscles, does not seem to have a neck at all. Unfortunately, before any other judgments could be made about it, the cable guy, who had to work on the wiring in the room, came in and erased the art.

All criticism aside, “what bitch” clearly caused some compelling commentary during its short-lived appearance in the GLC.
