From my research I’ve decided to show how both individuals were greedy and end up dying, leaving their wealth behind. Therefore, its like they were ready to sin and get involve in crimes, just to earn more money.
I’ve chosen to represent my work as an installation show the path of both of them when they were child and how fame made them more greedy and how suddenly their path, which has perhaps started with some good intention but end up in the wrong direction.
My first idea was a hallway with the right wall showing the path of Idris in the form of a statistic, relating to how ministers have to take statistics in consideration. Everytime the statistic goes up, it represent how affluent he was during this stage. At the end the statistic goes down since he died and lost everything he had.
The wall on the left would represent Mona and it will be made using threads just like an investigation to catch a killer, and same thing goes to her wall, everytime it goes up represent how she rose up in standard of living and again she fell down just like the president when she was given the death penalty.
The purple background with the lion represent luxury and wealth and there will be a printed money in the middle with a blood stain to represent violence.
I thought of adding an artificial tree on the opposite as well to show that they were all attracted towards money and not toward a healthy life.
Then after a tutorial the lecturer said that this idea was too simple so I had to find these other ideas
A sculpture of a hand with two different sides one talking about the story of Mona the other talking about the president, but this idea got rejected afterwards since it was not so accurate and then I had the idea of another installation. Two pathways both joining at the same area and expressing the story of each individual, then I got the idea of making an elevation to represent how they were actually earning money in their filthy life until they suddenly fell down when they died and lose everything they gained. There will be a wall to prevent the people from accessing the end of the hallway to represent that they can't reach their goal, wealth.
I also got the idea of this installation where the items will be hanged both leading towards a man made of money.
The I had another idea of making big and small boxes with printed money on it to represent the amount they gained during this specific era of their life. Threads will be used just like in a crime investigation to show how each event relates to each other.
At the end in order to save time I’ve finally decided to make an installation on a table and have some explanation written on paper below each items.
