Merry
Christmas
End of democracy? or a new start?
This project uses Christmas tree as a medium to reflect the multiplicity of voices post the 2016 US Presidential election.
Gradually, each christmas ornament transforms into people's voices. Finally, the Christmas tree transforms into a collection of multiple voices. Then all those voices melt into one - a little girl's voice about a freedom of speech regardless of race, age, and gender. When her speech inflames the crowds, everything starts burning.
The meaning of burning remains ambiguous to us - end of democracy or a new start?
