The piece I created was focused heavily around the theme of Kanye West's song and video "Power", which you can watch below. The video includes many  motifs about power and has become extremely popular in pop culture. Throughout the video, Kanye is depicted as a man of great power; as the camera zooms out over his subjects, the extent of his domain is slowly revealed. However, the song "Power" not only expresses the general desire, but is also about the instability of power and how unreliable it is to be at the top. At the end of the  video, Kanye is seen to be the victim of an attempted assassination and is assumed to be overthrown. As this is happening to him, all of his subjects are gone.

Similarly, my intentions were to express the general desire for power in the presidential election, so I decided to create my artwork in a similar fashion.
