WAR



repeating this piece adds context to the cycle

(more connections can become apparent).


Thank you, Zan, for dancing, and thank you, Nithiya, for clip suggestions, ideas, and recording.


Just so this work is not taken out of context, I am not pro-Michael Moore; I used some clips from Bowling for Columbine because I realize that even though we may disagree with a particular person's politics, we can still find value in what they're saying and build off of what we believe are good points (in this case, a major point, which was also made by John Dos Pasos in his book 1919, is a concept called 'Reimportation of War' - ideas and weapons we create to hurt others tend to find their way home).

Great stuff! I especially appreciated the soundtrack/ continuous beat and the cancer cells image. Funny too, since this was actually your topic for the oral exam...
