A Political Collage

"Map" and "Globe" were themes for the last two classes.  For maps,  I decided to cut up one of Africa and glue the countries haphazardly on a black ground emphasizing how little we know of this continent.  I added imagery of African American woman that was transferred onto packing tape which gives an indistinct image further emphasizing how vague our knowledge is of the people and the continent.

For "Globe" I decided to make another political statement using some imagery I found of Osama Bin Laden.  I cut and pasted his head on a background of hot air balloons seemingly floating in the sky.  Although he looks rather benign I did place one of his heads upside down next to the flag of the United States.  The other flags represent many countries involved with terrorism directly or indirectly.
