"That's why we stick to your game plans and party lines
But at night we're conspiring by candle light." - Rise Against
For my lyrical collage I chose to use a line from the song Satellite by Rise Against. The dissenter in the foreground stands on the White House lawn as a reminder to those in "power" that they will only maintain that position by working for the people. He also faces the crowd to remind the viewer that it is all of our responsibility to keep the government in check. I added a new flag to the top of the White House as well. The flag stands at half mass to represent the loss of once highly held American ideals, and is flown upside down which denotes a sense of distress.
Here are the links to the images that I used for this project:
