This art work was thought provoking. In this project students had to think of a topic that thing believe shouldn’t be wrapped in politics or controlled by the Government. We were to create an ‘armor’ that proposed a solution for this problem. This ‘armor’ is less of a actual armor and more a collection of pieces that are symbolic to the solution of their chosen issue.

For this project I was drawn toward Police Reform. I am of the belief that our current Police Force is too militarized and is not a organization that society at large believes has the community best interest as priority.

The Peace Maker gear or armor was my answer to this problem. The head piece points out and clears the wearer of their biases and preconceived motions, allowing them to have a clear picture of the situation. The head piece is aptly named the Clear Visor. The Belt element, which is or wearable element, is where the cure canisters are stored. This canisters can be chosen to help all those in a tense situation to have a positive feeling to deescalate the confrontation. The C.U.R.E canisters each relate to a different emotion; Care/Compassion, Understanding, Respect, and Empathy. Last but not least, is the Peacemaker, which a ‘gun’ that we put the canisters in to release the gas in the air.
