For my installation I have decided to capture the anarchy of today's society. The abandonment of societal decency and norms has created a world full of war, fear and alright recklessness. I've decided to focus my installation into a shoebox. Within my shoe box I've plastered images of destruction and social wars to create a wallpaper of failures of human compassion. I have also included red prices of string I dyed with red acrylic paint linking to the attempts at solving the worlds issues, but evidentially it had failed. At the box there is a 'help us' at the box which represents the want to resolve issues that have been created. When the lid is put on the box lid you have to look through a hole in the box lid which forces yhe viewer to be restricted to what they see which symbolises how the media sensationalise events in society and don't allow the viewers/public to know about all of what's going on in society. When looking back through the box the instillation is illuminated by a red light which ethasis all of the blood shed in today's society and the anger that fuels it. I have chosen to do this for my instillation to reflect on the appauling state of today's society and the current events that have happened such as; Paris , Syria and terrorism.

My installation is to show how I believe the media is presenting events in today's society and how I Believe they show the downfall and grotesque part of humanity, and how we as the population are left almost completely hopeless to solve the issues that face our world and help innocent people who are being murdrdered
As well as making my instillation very small I wanted to make it restricted to the veiwer to show how the vast majority of our population has no say in the matters of the world and how people have no power to stop it. Also the small hole focuses directly on the "help us" sign to show the extreme need to help the indangered innocent people.
The discolouration of the photos on the wallpaper of my box shows the distorted view on the events in society portrayed by the media.
