Project Zero
As the world population has been increasing, the way we perceive things is so limited that we somehow overlook the reality or what has been happening to the world in the mean time. We should rebel our mind and take a deeper look into other people's lives because our perception of reality is not adequate to deal with the global problems of the overpopulated world nowadays.
This collage portrays the aspect of the problem with an emphasis on African society that most people often overlook. Aid has not been provided enough in order to help them suffer less. The red water in the cracked earth represents water scarcity and also blood from the killing. The cloud made of umbrellas, rather than providing protection, is firing out bullets in depiction of the war. The healthcare helicopters are not giving enough aid save lives of diseased children. Poverty is illustrated as a man trying to catch a money butterfly as they're flying away.
Prompt's Case study and further research
"The Living Bridge"
Started constructing by "The War-Khasis" which is one of a tribe in Meghalaya in India.
At least 500 years old now.
Considered to be one of the most sustainable bridge of all.
What I am interested in this bridge is that this bridge itself is living.
This means that it is now growing, bigger and bigger overtime, strengthen itself which makes it very strong.
The "Rubber Tree" is the main construction of this bridge
Scientific name : Ficus Elastica
Native to northest India and Southern Indonisia.
The same specie can also be found in Thailand, but will not be as strong as the above.
In wilderness, this kind of tree can reach up to 60 metres tall, with the stout trunk up to 2 metres diameter.
