"Where Does The Money Go?"

"The White Helmets"

“Where does the money go?”

I made this piece to reflect on the Syrian Civil War. The syrian money on the piece represents syria and the russian flag on top of the money potrays the overrule of governments and a little explanation as to why this war is going on. I wanted to make something about this topic because not too many people know or even care about it too much and I think it’s a reallt impactful issue in the world today.

“The White Helmets”

This poster as well ties in with the Syrain Civil War. The piece itself represents the humanitarian group, “The White Helmets” who risk their lifes to save people in the bombings from either side of the war.  I wanted more people to know about this group and the very wholesome act that they do themselves with no pay and little recognition.
