2006-08-29T19:08:00.000-04:00

graffiti on a stall door - oil paint on canvas

Eventually there will be graffiti on the door with different political views showing how people feel. the point of the painting is that these people that have written on these walls feel more free too speak in this confined space of the stall than they ever will in the outside world.

....|Beginning

2006-08-15T18:19:00.000-04:00

As people progress, they change, they grow and learn from experiences... experiences based on what society so chooses to dictate as correct and proper. The poeople we meet are shaped by this same society and influence what we do, how we think, what we belive. We have been subconsciously indoctrinated to believe a certain set of values and to reject this set hierarchy of morals and thoughts is needed. The world must be created anew. The last remnants of our past must be forgotten untill the only vestige of our foregone society lies only in memory...

...the beginning.

...|Airplane Cabin

2006-07-23T18:05:00.000-04:00

one of the most socially feared places that this country has to offer.

what makes this relatively safe place feel so dangerous? the likely hood of something bad happening such as a major malfunction or terrorist attack is so unlikely yet we dwell on it every time we walk into an airport.

what creates an even larger problem is the suspicions of the passengers. have you ever looked at someone as they walk down the aisle, what makes you decide if they are capable of committing an act of terrorism?

what does this mean? well at the present moment i am compelled to express my feelings about the social state of the world through a simple illustration.

socially influenced people described through telephone lines.

each pole is one person. the wire is the stream of influenced to the people. depending on how far away or how close, how taut the lines are, defines how strong the social ties are between them.
