Text as Images

So here are some of my works using text... 




The image on the right says Kwashiorkor and in the background it is filled with text about the disease. It is most common in children who suffer from malnutrition. The images of the children in poverty with the potbellies are images of children who suffer from Kwashiorkor.

The image on the right says Child Labor, behind the image is text about the diamond industry. There is a large amount of children and adults who are forced to work within the diamond mining campus. They are given no education and forced to work for less than a dollar day.

The very bottom image was pulled from a previous work with the words Russia, 5 million, Famine, and Drought. It was inspired from reading I did about the Russian Famine in 1921.
