Let’s take a look at Far Cry 4’s box art:
Here we see a fair skin gentleman who sits on a statue while
putting his hand on the head of a seemingly ethnic or native individual from
the Himalayan region. Looking in further, the box cover is carefully arranged
to illustrate a significant gap of power between the two individuals. The fair
skinned man is wearing a lavish pink suit that likely represents a symbol of
wealth. The way in which he sits, foot placed on the decapitated head of the
statue of Buddha, conveys his complete disregard for the culture and religion
of the region, as weapons and ammunition are also draped over it. As he smirks
confidently at the viewer, his placed hand on the head of the discouraged native
man also tauntingly dangles a grenade pin on his index finger. The subjugated
individual is reduced to his knees with a look of shame and defeat on his face
while holding the pin-less explosive. Read more.
