Illustrations of the Human Condition




Greed. Religion. War. Manipulation. Temptation.

This project was about 'Monsters' in this world and what effects humans. 
The images reflect my own opinions and experiences on delicate subjects. Most of the focus was on the power the media have over the public and particularly on young and impressionable people.
         The first image depicts Greed and fame. You rise to the top and expose yourself to everyone and then EVERYONE wants a piece of you.
         The second image reflects my experiences on religion, much importance is placed on the christian faith but the main focus of religion is to do good and spread kindness. And so they're all connected with the same message of love. But the ghostly figure surrounded by these different faiths represents the hatred and discrimination against religions,agnosticism and atheism.
         The third image reflects War. It's unnecessary and no one wants to be a part of it, yet we are still bound by higher powers and the urge to be dominant. This image shows the desire to break away from violence and say no to war. 
              The last image is about the power the media has over the younger generation. The media consumes people, manipulates their thoughts and molds their opinions. 

The media has great power and with great power comes great responsibility...
