When all the world is a hopeless jumble uses crowd-control barriers and prismatic colors as a playful statement on repression and strategies of resistance.

By placing the barriers in a sphere, the linear divide in power is dismissed and new dynamics are opened up.
The title of the work alludes to the deleted opening line of the ballad from the movie The Wizard of Oz. Written in 1938, a moment in history with a decisive political situation.
