Don’t be Blinded by your Appetite

Adult-onset Diabetes is a preventable condition caused by poor food choice that is affecting a younger demographic than ever before, and those in the Caucasian, African-American, and Hispanic demographics are one of the most vulnerable groups to losing eyesight to this fatal disease. This image presents a buttery biscuit as having the power to blind us. It demonstrates that we have the power to avoid dangerous glucose levels, blindness, and other complications costing 44 billion dollars every year to treat. The woman portrayed is glamorous and stylish, creating an irony when juxtaposed with an unattractive eye patch consisting of her poisonous indulgence.

Water Catcher

Coca-Cola uses up to 1.5 million liters of water a day to create its profitable product in the district of Palakkad, forcing its residents to hike miles for precious water. This image presents the Coca-Cola empire as a Marvel-style traditional super villain, savagely claiming all of the region’s life-giving water while leaving the rest of the region to crumble and decay. His threatening body, covered with symbols representing the company’s logo, is melodramatically lit from below to emphasize his wickedness. He is standing triumphantly on a small globe to represent the company’s excessive profitability that will allow them to continue wasting this precious resource.
