Refugees Welcomed

For this assignment, I chose the political issue of Refugees. Today, due to many unfortunate events throughout the world, many people have been left without a country to call home. They are desperately seeking somewhere in the world where they can feel safe and start over. Unfortunately, there is a big stigma to these people and they are sometimes not wanted. Banned from certain countries and even denied entry upon arrival. It seems that the only place where a Refugee would be welcomed is the moon. This is the reason I chose to alter the infamous photo of the moon landing. I changed the American Flag with the Refugee Flag and added tents. I am hoping that this image will make someone stop and think about the struggles these people have had to endure. The hardships they have been burdened with and the feeling of not being wanted. In my opinion, this is a terrible way to feel, especially after all the pain and suffering they have already had to go through. I believe that the best place to display this artwork is in schools, government offices, museums, just about anywhere where people can see this and have more of an open-mind regarding the issue of Refugees.
