I was going to make a piece for a group show for refugee relief with the theme being depictions of refugee children, citizens of the world. I assembled the component pieces into an illustration of suffering brown children living someplace hot, making for compelling television entertainment.
This is from a series created from imagery derived solely from pictographs found in my collection of wingding and dingbat computer fonts.
Starting from a large selection of these symbols and shapes I made associations and pairings to match preconceived ideas or allowing them to inspire their own themes.
