Picture #1: "The Big Picture" this picture will be placed the furthest back and will depict a mother holding her daughter against a brick wall sitting on the cement side walk. The mother looks to be in her mid thirties and the daughter approximately five or six with her body tucked closely to her mothers. They both wear coats so it can be presumed that it is cold. I chose this piece in hopes that it will make my audience think of the women in their life with her daughter in the same position triggering a pathos reaction of empathy and sympathy.
Picture #2: "Change" This picture will be placed on the outer most left hand side of the exhibit, it depicts a homeless man in a hoodie approximately twenty-five in age slim build with a written sign "Keep your coins I want change." The piece is done in a graphic street art style. I chose this piece because it appeals to my own median of spray paint art and to me it had a powerful message.
Picture #3: "The Saint" This picture is front and center it depicts Mother Theresa smiling. I chose this picture to draw your attention away from the rest it is one of the happier and most hopeful pictures in the exhibit. I chose Mother Theresa because of her direct tie dedicating her life to the homeless situation.
Picture #4: "Turn Your Head" This picture is on the outer most right hand side and depicts a business man in a suit with his head manually being pushed away by his "shadow" (another man in a black Morph Suit) he is being forced to look away from the homeless man sleeping on the side walk with some of his possession which just look like trash bags and garbage. I chose this picture because it is essentially my exhibit described in one picture. I want to point out how easy it is to over look homelessness as well as any other social issue because there is a subconscious force making us look away.
