War Memorial of Hill 404






I'm still not too sure what this one is about. I call it an uninformed war memorial from a time that doesn't exist. The original version had some intense grandma's living room under lighting and a few more elements. I love playing with symbolism to the point where it seems almost like mindless propaganda. This piece is currently decorating my kitchen wall which is why the lighting in these shots is a bit lacking. The American flag has placed on it a mine detector. Opposite that is the Soviet ray gun with extend able butt and extra clip. The middle item is stained wood with found elements. The main object is actually the bottom of a computer chair. These,with the clock, create the illusion of function. The clock used to read 4:04...but i dropped it and the arms moved. The title stuck.
