Have an apple

A symbolic representation of global injustice and abuse towards 3rd world people that the advance economies and global corporations commit with their policies.

THE SCENE:The hand of God (taken from the Creation of Adam by Michelangelo) is offering a malnourished child the apple inc. logo in place of much needed food.

THE INSPIRATION: Our demand for cell phones and computer chips is helping fuel a bloody civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. An ore called Columbite-tantalite one of the world’s most sought-after materials…It sells for $100 a pound, and it’s becoming increasingly vital to modern life. For the high-tech industry, tantalum is magic dust, a key component in everything from mobile phones made by Nokia (NOK) and Ericsson and computer chips from Intel (INTC) to Sony (SNE) stereos and VCRs.
