Have It All

I found one of my older unfinished pieces to have strong visual imagery relating to the ICCIT journal’s theme. I initially formulated the concept of this piece with the idea of bringing to light the difficulties surrounding the modernization of our current cities and the food crisis as a “hard pill to swallow”.

The top portion of the pill represents the vibrant image of abundance and prosperity, and the ultimate façade of a developing society. The underlying smog-filled city is indicative of the ugly side of urbanization, the pollution that threatens the life we’ve been accustomed to.
