R&D 2:

Step 2:

For the next step on my thesis I decided to dig deeper into the illustrations done on the wall. What grabbed my attention the most was the illustrations of the children on wall. 

 As I was researching the illustrations I came across the one with the the little girl searching the soldier. Exactly the opposite of what happens in reality, as I found this very different front he rest of the illustrations, I decided to dig deeper. and i found this interpretation of the graffiti on http://banksyworld.blogspot.com/ 

     West Bank Guard: An innocent child is used to display the tension in the region. In this painting, a little girl, complete with pigtails, depicts the innocence of children everywhere, caught in the middle of strife and political discord. What makes this piece interesting is the willingness of the guard to submit to a search by the tyke. Perhaps he himself is making a statement about the innocence of children on both sides of the barrier.

As this and many more of the graffitis were of the children I stirred my research toward the children of the conflict and the ones sounded by the wall and I came across very sad events such as Palestinian children being used as a human shield by the Israeli soldiers! Yet again another form of a barrier or wall. but this time made out of humans. 

In addition to above I looked into the effect of the wall on the families and homes that the wall was built through. How the wall has effected the community or the economy of that town. 

As a result of my researches and my interest in materials I attempted to recreate feelings that the wall and the conflict has created.

Response:

The response to this stage was positive in term of approach. I was recommended to look into the creation of space using materials and studying the psychological effects of the wall. The study of the Gif file was also received positively as it plays with the notion of wall and like and change. Frank Gehry's Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao praised, was one of the Suggested works to look at as well as Daniel Libeskind.
