Back to Parent

Intent:

My intention was to make a statement about the current controversial debate on Planned Parenthood and abortion. By borrowing the concept of The Voice, I called this The Choice, and wanted to pose the question of who was making "the choice" on whether women receive abortions. The goals of this project were to make my point clear and to have a striking message that would leave the viewer to consider the power relationship between congress and the individual. Though the viewer can and should have their own interpretation, my intent was to pose the congress in a unwilling position of authority, with their backs turned to the individual, as if it was their choice not hers. Only if they turned their chair around, like on The Voice, would the choice go to the individual.

Context:

Two main categories influenced my outcome--

The Voice: The television show is based on the concept that vocal talent should be judged by listening alone, and not by visual judgment of the person singing. The four coaches will turn around only if they are willing to accept the contestant on stage into their team and have them on the show.
