society Ex. Natural disasters

PLACEMENT
“In The Mind Of God” is an installation that visualizes the aff ect of power and emotion. Through observation, we are able to distinguish a common path a “God” will take. With so much power at someone’s disposal, we
are able to see how vicious or benevolent the nature of people can be.
