I was asked to design a magazine cover for Hunter College by the Editor in NYC that reflected the theme of war...what came out was this skull face entity that portrayed war mongers internationally. U.S Themes are reflected because of my concern (as well as the concern of millions of others internationally)the direction that the U.S "corporate government" is taking what's left of the "American Republic" of We the People.The tragedy of many young lives lost,families shattered,innocents on both sides losing their lives,homes,environmental devastation & the ensuing quagmire that has been created. I came across a site http://projects.washingtonpost.com/fallen/ that displays all of the pictures of U.S fallen soldiers. I was struck & incredibly saddened by how young most of them are and how they died (according to military reports..hmmm).I decided to use their faces in this piece as a reminder of the tragic loss of young lives used as pawns to make an elite few in the military industry very wealthy. I understand that they volunteered to be in the military, but when their lives are put at risk by deceptionary wars then it is time to question governments true motives. I pray for all of these souls,that they may continue to evolve on a higher plane. Support the TROOPS,BRING THEM BACK HOME! End the primitive barbaric practice of war before it's too late for all of humanity...Let us all share our commonality as humans and strive for continual evolution and the exchange of ideas and resources to help us heal our world!
