"When you become a real soldier"
The first montage i covered anti war using the spray paint cans with a broken heart in the middle as a background to kind of set the idea. I used the flower as a focal point as kind of to represent death of loss and the fence as a feeling of being blocked out from the people you hold close. I used text in the picture as a letter from the army notifying a loss of a family member or friend but didnt want it to completly stand out so i blended it in alot.
"Beauty in the Decay"
For the second montage I did use alot of text but only to pull the picture together as a whole. When my dad moved to Milwaukee i loved it i loved walking around the downtown and looking at all the graffiti and broken down buildings its all something that s so real and i wanted to incorporate this into my work and what it means to me. I have always said you have to free your mind at any expense and never let yourself have limitations so you have to do what you have to do if it is what you love.
