Deconstruction of America

written by Houke de Kwant on March 9, 2017

Deconstruction of America is a great project by Mike Campau. The images use a visual metaphor of a living tree being cut down, disassembled into logs, and burned to the point where it has little to no value. Everything from government corruption, broken justice system, religion (or lack there of), poor diet and nutrition, the shock value “look at me” YouTube generation, and how we have all become desensitized and almost apathetic in our response to hate crimes and mass shootings is processed in these works.
