The string that runs through all these images is walls, but they all serve difference purposes. One is a work of art, another serves to corral people in a location, one for executing "degenerates," one for spiritual purposes, and the last image represents non-physical people.

Originally my idea was to create a wall, loosely based off the execution wall in Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland). I had visited the site back in May and of all the disturbing, but placated things I saw, the execution wall seemed the most real for whatever reason. My wall however, would be loosely based off the wall in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Mobility was also an important factor for this project. The wall had to be mobile so that it's own "site" could be readily transported to various locations efficiently. As I wrote in my plans for the project, mobility was important so that the audience would be confronted against their own will.
