The Spread of the Catholic

Concentration

Whether the crusades or the election of President Kennedy, Catholics have wielded great amounts of power in the world we have created, but I wanted to symbolize also the westernization of the world, and I thought of the radio; these ideas lead to me taking a  picture  of a catholic cathedral in Paris, France. The cathedral representing white progression around the world, and the radio waves spreading the information  of their religion.

High Contrast Tower

Concentration

An experimentation with photoshop, this piece evolved to be the first piece in my concentration. It holds memories of traveling, and the modern touch, of the editing, reflects how we view memories of trips, as things of the past. The white tower can also symbolize the beacons that call tourist from around the world to visit these places.

Patriotic Eiffel

Based off of a trip to Paris, France. The high contrast photo was edited through photoshop and is shadowed with the French national flag. A commentation of political power, national pride, and how a national culture can be targeted. The Eiffel Tower was an outstanding achievement of architecture  through the use of steel, in comparison to the stone competitor. I wanted to draw on Eiffel's ingenuity to create a piece that reflects innovation in materials for a subject matter that remains traditional.
