The Cure to All the Problems in the World
The cure to all the problems in the world is an installation which aimed to reflect the materiality of our existence. The concept of charity evokes values of passion, responsibility and selflessness, bound with acts of kindness and activism to strive for global change. Last year in America over three hundred and fifty-eight billion dollars was donated to charity, but a vast amount of this was wasted through fraudulent and corrupt organizations. This not only deprives people who are in need, but sheds light on the dark side of a positive vocation. Knowing that this corruption will never end on the basis of pure greed- thus inspiring me to create a piece which would reflect this. The aim was to create work which provokes society into finding meaning, meaning that is not necessarily always there- to remind us how fake and artificial we have become.
