It had four tall doors and a few…

He was fascinated with matches and one time he executed a whole “zoo” of various animals including lions and giraffes, but he was far from a madman – according to witnesses, he was a rather naïve simpleton, a puppet of people around him and obsessed with physical endurance. In addition, his death in a bathtub came 12 years after Marcus…

sacrifice of the animals is horrible. Bengt Holst, the Copenhagen Zoo’s scientific director admits to doing the same process of slaughtering animals to make room for others that contribute more to the overall growth of the species (Abend, “Marius The Giraffe…”).

Intimidating, right? Immediately, one feels small, weak, powerless, and maybe even a little bit scared. Well, time and time again, countries across the Indiana Ocean trading network experienced the same exact feeling. Zheng He devoted his life to a series of seven…

For example in Fig 3 I ripped the dark and gloomy pieces, such as the lighting and the woman from Salvador Dali’s painting, ’The Burning Giraffe’ 1937 as I wanted them to appear more ridged and more aroused, to relate more to the meaning of the collage, to make them more blended slightly. Going back to Kecks Collage she also uses her own drawings in her collages, which is something…
