We have all seen ants stubbornly and persistently carrying pieces of food that are enormous compared to their size. And we all know how well-organized an ant colony is, with proper task hierarchy and perfect division of labor. What we don't know, however, are the political positions and beliefs of these tireless workers. Arkas delves into the tunnels and galleries of the ant nest, listens to and records discussions and debates between supporters and dissenters of the system, and conveys them to us with unparalleled humor in this wonderful album.

"The Colony" is a hilarious satire of political and economic systems, and a grim depiction of totalitarianism. Light-hearted laughter and intense reflection combined in the way only Arkas knows how.
