None Imagery Collages

At first I wanted to see if I could represent the emotions of the events in Rwanda without the need of any human representation.

During the genocide, the voice on the radio is the main culprit which lead the people to act as they did, using vocal propaganda to influence the Hutu community that the Tutsi where dangerous, evil cockroaches waiting for there time to strike.

Almost acting like the voice of god commanding his followers to do his bidding, and as he said, they did, attacking the Tutsi ‘cockroaches’ in their homes, schools, and in public, hacking them into pieces and preforming unspeakable acts to men women and children. There are even stories of men attacking pregnant women in disgusting acts of violence.
