This assignment was to pick three different objects from the MIA on different floors and put them together to form a new installation with new meaning. In the scene that i am creating i would put a budda statue from Asia wearing a set of body armor from Europe and holding a 19th century axe from Africa.
i feel that budda is already a figure of innessence and that he is portrayed as god that never has to fight but for once he is a warrior and i think this goes against all beliefs making him a warrior to fight intead of always using peace for everything.
I feel like this is a good start, but that you could have gone further in your description and analysis. What kind of room is this installation set up in? What's the lighting like? What do you think the effect would be on the viewer? Is the Buddha going to fight for peace? Would he look uncomfortable?
