Following the midterm, I did some deep thinking about what I want my art intervention to actually be. My initial goals were to be as public and as honest as possible, but I don't think I really pushed it hard enough. I know that, if I want to proceed with this, I have to think bigger than before.
My initial idea was to have a simple mural on a board outside of the United Nations. After taking in the feedback I received, I realized that I needed to think more outside of the box than ever before. A suggestion that I got was that maybe I could take a more "street art" approach to the installation- specifically, take a look at Basquiat's SAMO tag art. After doing some digging into this, I really wanted to take a stab at street art like this. It's something I've never really done before, but I've always had a bit of a curiosity about. I'm currently thinking about maybe a graffiti method and have it be at random, but populated places. That way, people from anywhere and everywhere could be able to see it. How long do I want my work to be up? Until someone gets pissy enough and wants it taken down.
Now, I want to rework this from the ground up. I want to push my message deep and far while staying authentic and my methods true to myself. It's no longer "The Last Wonder of the World".
It's something else. I'm something else.
