Taking a dump is a perfectly natural act—everybody does it, even world leaders.

Still, there's something unsettling about seeing Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Angela Merkl sitting on the toilet.

But maybe that's the point: Italian artist Cristina Guggeri created a series of paintings titled "Il Dovere Quotidiano" ("The Daily Duty") in an effort to humanize some of the most powerful people on Earth.

“The choice to capture personalities in their daily duty is not only the externalization of a idea shared by all, but implies another kind of message," Guggeri told BoredPanda. "The powerful, being personalities of public importance, should not only perform their physiological duty, but they should realize what ordinary people (who elected them) expect from them: their ‘daily duty’."

Check out more images from the series below.
