Let Down is the number 32 of 50 prints of this limited edition print, which is 50 × 50 cm in size. JBOY, which was made in reaction to the Brexit decision in the United Kingdom, effectively conveys the sense of disillusionment and apprehension about the prospects of the next generation. A young girl wearing a Union Jack clothing stands in the centre, her head bent, conveying a sense of desolation and abandonment. The image's emotional intensity and simplicity convey the artist's displeasure with the choices that have affected the country's destiny.
JBOY highlights in his piece description how the artwork has become more relevant with time, particularly in light of the UK elections of 2024. He highlights how we have failed as a society to come together and work towards a common destiny, a concept that is aptly captured by the girl's hopeless expression. The fine art print attempts to maintain the depth and paint-like texture of the original image by using premium German Etching Paper. This artwork makes a strong and enduring message on the influence of political decisions on generations because of the archival-quality inks that were utilised to create it.
