'Endings' Exhibition Work!

Capitalism
I chose to use this image because the banner was really striking. It was like pathetic fallacy with the intense red of the sky, almost issuing a warning for times ahead. And it really compliments the green of the banner, which in turn sets off the pink of the writing, making the message more poignant. Here's to hoping it still capitalism still is in crisis!

Globalise
Another message that means a lot to me!

Grow
This photo was chosen because I wanted the people walking past the shot to appear to be disappearing,  or being forgotten about. Which represents society today to me.

Another World
I think this one is pretty self explanatory, I'm hoping that another world is possible!

These are the images I used for my second exhibition. I called this series of work 'This Is What Democracy Looks Like' and as you can see, it's taken from the Occupy London Stock Exchange protest camp at St Pauls. For me, the theme 'Endings' was about a sense of feeling that the society we live in is coming to an end. Wow, that sounds dramatic!! I just mean that we are living in a society that is becoming more about one group of people than another. Where the people who need the most help are being left to fend for themselves and ignored while others bask in their capitalism Heaven. ;)
