Steven 1.5 work

 Global Global Issue: Sustainable development, expansion of urban developments.


Steven

In the background there is a bulldozer which is levelling the ground and paving the way for developments. The characters are walking on mushy rubble, it looks very disgusting and uncomfortable as if to imply that this is the result of the developments. Then there is the image of a cut log, it is implied that the log was cut to allow for the developments to take place. The characters look saddened by the remarks they are making. 

The final slide includes the aforementioned messy rubble, including the broken log. In addition, the characters are distant from the ‘camera’, and are looking away as they explain: ‘I wonder if you can refuse to inherit the world’, ‘I think if you're born it's too late’.

The text most likely represents the artist's views on the subject - people, especially kids, are being negatively affected by something that is addressed by the Global Issue.

  1. GI: Urban sprawl ??? (since global issues are supposed to be negative, and sustainable development is the attempt to solve said problems).
