the narrative I will be trying to communicate is the effects and aftermath of the recent issues that are happening worldwide. I hope to show through a photomontage how I believe the country is becoming more and more defenseless to international strife and pandemic, and people are watching to happen. I will use multiple photographs to illustrate symbolically some of the issues such as inequality, war, climate change, and pandemic. I plan to use a variety of thematic techniques including recognize the familiar, exaggeration of scale, and seeing through the lies. the recognizing of the familiar will be shown through popular images possible seen in the news. or online or everyday items that people would recognize, such as a mask. Exaggeration of scale will also be seen in the images on top of the United States being much bigger than they would realistically be to show their importance and relevance, as well as large hands cradling the earth. lastly, seeing through the lies will be shown by the images covering the United States to symbolize the issues at hand and a crowd watching to show how we are not doing enough to help our planet, or as the photomontage should show, watching the world burn.
