Why is there a food shortage?

When Omicron first emerged in Shanghai, the city quarantined only certain compounds. Then as the virus spread officials last week implemented a staggered lockdown where the city was split into two and each half had separate measures.

Ideal & Reality 

Concept :

The theme is reminiscent of "The siege of Shanghai", which is closest to the theme, taking "famine" as the starting point and associating the word cloud created by the words of food and hunger. 

 

I want to show artwork with a dummy dressed as "I love China".

Doing the action of pulling grass from the ground and eating it.

 

Under the pressure of the political party, the mainland people still believe in their party and believe that the government will save them. At the last moment of despair, people who could not suppress their hunger began to pull grass from the ground, in sharp contrast to the determination to believe in the party.

First look at red oval it represent the lockdown area Shanghai and the virus has exploded on this city, and next look at the right site, you will see a building it mean the China government, who can control the whole things about this epidemic.

A megaphone next to the building, it mean the government implements the policy and last because of those policies can’t not operation appropriate, that Shanghai citizens life  become mess up.

Because lockdown some epidemic prevention personnel are over-enforcement like grab patients went to  hospital  but not gave appropriate health care , Break citizens house roughly and let them do PCR without allowing their  hope.

silent protest 

The theme of our hunter project this time is about the lockdown of Shanghai due to the epidemic, leaving many people unable to obtain food and causing famine.

The title of my work is silent protest. From the picture, you can see the dog who is alone at home. Because his owner was diagnosed, he was taken to the isolation center for isolation. In contrast, the resident on the opposite side had food shortages due to the lockdown of the city, and they moved their empty refrigerators to their balcony. To protest against all this change. I also used black lines in this work. To indicate that I feel heavy about this issue.

As you can see from my image, I showed how a thermometer is stuck in a burger, and eyes with a tear are drawn on a glass.  Since I love fast food, I want to show this about fasting in Shanghai.  

 

About how people can’t eat because of quarantine and they don’t have enough food.  I put a mask on the glass to furrow the face of a sad person, and I wanted to put a knife and fork for beauty.  As you can see, the knife is black and the fork is white, which adds contrast and emphasizes the different sides of all this art.
