I really like both the statement you're making and your approach. This is definitely an issue that has faced the U.S. for many years and your approach really looks at it in an interesting way. I like the revealing nature of it because it highlights the fact that the fast food industry is trying hide something. One suggestion I have is that, beyond just considering obesity caused by the fast food industry, you could also delve into the effects on different body parts as well, such as clogged arteries, heart failure, etc. to broaden the statement a bit. I was thinking maybe using the same image as in the fast food ads but showing what's actually happening on the inside like an x-ray. But regardless of what you go with, I'm definitely interested to see the outcome. Good luck!
I think oadebayo has some good advice. I'm very interested to see the specifics of what you work will have because this is something that artists have been going at for a while now it seems. A possible route you could take would be to educate somehow instead of mainly drawing attention to the problem. I think most people know they're doing their body wrong by eating improperly but it's very hard for them to help themselves without more knowledge or a pathway to that knowledge. Just a suggestion.
I'm intrigued in your approach towards tackling childhood obesity in America through an artistic process, and I think you focused on tackling the issue through the most effective way - the marketing. The consumer mindset towards foods to purchase is very likely influenced by marketing, which concerns itself with underlying messages, and that's where your art project can be most effective. Especially because this project involves borrowing and stealing, you should be very specific about which aspects you incorporate because consumers will likely already have associated attitudes towards those components.
I really like your idea of further simplifying designs already pretty simple and elegant. Especially you transform 3D scenes into 2D prints, which look very artful and reinforcing the core idea of Scandinavian design. Great job!!!
I really liked the idea of making a 3D space into a 2D image. In 3D, you can play around with depth and perception, ?75 in 2Dbyou have to carefully pick and choose what you have to highlight and take away. Your documentation is good; I really enjoyed the reflection on the difference between minimalist and simplistic. I also think you could have utilized the other objects in the original picture better, because you did a good job highlighting the one big thing, it took importance away from a lot of other things in the room.
