My WikiLeaks text assignment focuses on the impact WikiLeaks is having on the international community and within the United States government. While working on this photo assignment, I came across an article comparing Julian Assange to our founding fathers. I thought the idea was interesting, so I went with it.
The background of my collage shows the blurred faces of our founding fathers, along with the presidents. Their faces are blurred to show the disregard by our modern government to the ideals our country was founded on. I feel like our founding fathers would have been proud of Mr. Assange and supported his cause whole-heartedly.
The foreground of the collage holds a fragmented picture of Mr. Assange, along with a simple line from the Declaration of Independence. I felt that it was important to fragment the body of Mr. Assange, to show how he's been fragmented between countries. I thought that the line from the Declaration of Independence only hit home the fact that our founding fathers would have supported the WikiLeaks cause.
