•Short description of my project:

This Project is a oversized postcard book containing black and white collages of landmarks and war zones combined together in order to make a contrast and show the unfairness of the world. Aim of it is to be displayed and raise awareness.

 

•Please tell us about your project in longer detail, including the final form that it will take. In my project I have made a letter paper sized postcard book named “Ghosts” to raise awareness. I choose the word ghost to symbolize the unseen situations. I used a the contrast between the happy postcard images of touristic places with the harrowing scenes from different locations. Every postcard has a different collage on it containing a famous landmark that accustomed to be seen in cheerful touristic images and photographs from different war zones, intense protests and holocausts. To give the sense of worlds opposite poles. This postcard book is all in black and white with a black cover, unusual for a regular postcard book. My goal is to make more from them and to display them in public galleries and museums in order to raise awareness.
