The original picture was taken from a civil rights protest against the movie "Gone With The Wind" in 1942. I found the original to be very reminiscent of what is happening in this day and age where people from all around the world are in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement. I wanted to manipulate this picture so that it would bring the viewer into another reality where the moment captured might have been altered. Therefore, I added an armed soldier who has his gun aimed at one of the protesters, ready to fire and I changed the signs so that it was relatable to 2016. In conclusion, I wanted to bring the reality we are currently living into this picture by depicting the social injustices and police brutality we face today.
