Skylee- Small World Project # 1

I have been debating doing this piece on the desk or backpack or both, being part of it. There would be stories of ICE (maybe not strictly the negative stories), but they would be a big part of this piece. Including the many deaths. This piece is supposed to represent the many children that are affected, even if they are not the ones being  abducted. Really just how dramatically it has been affecting people and specifically kids and citizens. 

The idea is to have books and other found objects in the bag with papers of stories of these ICE incidents. The desk would have a single crayon specifically red (the color that would be part of the drawings and circling different stories), but the desk could be empty. It would be an addition to the scene. My intention would be to show the desk being empty to push the idea of the absence of those kids or people that used to be part of the community.  These are all just a veriety of ideas that could or don’t have to be part of it. 

The second idea would be a student back pack that would still be a similar seen however this one would be relating to a student that has a reading disability. I also considered this one having whispers and thoughts that a student usually has going through their head. Both ideas are similar with the found objects and set up however the content would be different.

 In ilya kabakov’s work I like the  collage that also incorporates found objects and the righting behind the work is absolutely amazing. 

He is doing a similar concept. The creation to how it is to live under certain circumstances.
