This image is an appropriation of the famous 1970 Kent State shootings where the shooting of unarmed college students by members of the Ohio National Guard took place on on Monday, May 4, 1970.
My group and I decided to take that iconic image and apply it to a modern setting. One of the group members made note that they were alive when this massacre happened and it affected students nationwide, and nowadays students probably wouldn't notice what's happening right in front of them because they're always on there laptops, ipods and texting.
So that's when the proverbial light bulb went on above all our heads and we decided to use that as our concept. (Group Members: Jade Aldrich, Denise Favre, Lisa Herman, Louis Castellanos, Will Gonzales, LaToya Tyson, Steven Lopez)
