This image is in the likeness of Dada as I used random images which have no meaning and therefore irrelevant and this is a technique which Dada artist employ.
The background I think needs more work but there is still meaning behind this piece. Chairman Mao has a big head compared to the body, the body is a peasant body and what that means is that in communist everyone is equal which is entirely not true that's why he has the peasants body and the big head which symbolizes his status. That part is making fun of communism and that is how Dada art started, making a mockery of the war (WW1).
The two faces on Chairman Mao symbolize who he really is and how the Chinese people see him. The terminator side is him in his true form and the other side is the face he puts on when he is with the people.
There are the letters "C" "M" and "U" randomly scattered, they are letters from the word communism and the rest of the letters are missing as that's how I personally feel about communism, there is something missing. Its core principal is that everyone is equal and the land also belongs to everyone. What is missing is the truth.
