Assignment AVT 280: Digital Montage

I created two as I was playing with different ideas and images.

"Manifest Destiny D'uex"










Israel has occupied Palestinian lands since 1967 and, while at the time they kept the lands as a buffer to violence, they began building houses for Israel's citizens on this occupied territory. Under the United Nations policies, these settlements considered illegal. The Israeli government calls these locations a "Natural Expansions;" however, the Palestinians feel differently and the continuation of this practice cause tension that break down peace talks between the neighbors.Undeterred by protests by Palestinians and some Israelis, Israel keeps building new settlements which causes more fighting, more blood shed, and destroys the stability of these societies. A fools bargain.

"Peace Is Necessary"












This was created as a graphic message using a particularly graphic image around the circle. Peace is not only needed and favorable, but it is necessary. There has been enough death and instability in the region for this hundred and the next hundred years. War is is unsustainable and a non-peaceful solution will become increasingly complicated as other countries and the United Nations are forced to get involved.
