Hope For Haiti

Artist: Nicholas Amoscato
School: North Allegheny

Notes:
This piece was inspired by the devastating earthquake in Haiti. To begin generating ideas, I took large resolution screenshots of satellite images overlayed in Google Earth. Ironically, the final product only incorporated one of these screenshots in the background. I then downloaded a collection of professional images from various NPR Photographers. These images became the main focus of the composition, split up by a cross-like fault line over the entire piece. Complementing this jagged cross, I incorporated the American Red Cross logo as well. Finally, a ring of circles represented the impact of the earthquake; its epicenter symbolized by the red dot.
