Change of Idea

While I was thinking of what new angle I could capture now the Oxford Road camp has been evicted, I came across a Guardian article which is about Syria before and after the war.

The article was clearly meant to make the audience see clearly how devastating the war has been on Syria and its people. The way they have shown this is relevant to my project, which also looks at cause and affect of displacement of individuals, and shows photographs above and below each other which capture before and after the war.

I think these images quickly represent to the viewer the amount life and community that has been lost between the two images that they are viewing. 

This article and its photographs have reminded me of all the photographs that I have took of the Oxford Road camp community, which could be compared to the same composures after they were kicked out from the camp. I could also document anythings that were left behind from the camp that represents what was once there. 

I think this idea could work well to show how they are always being moved around by the council and can't make a temporary 'home' for themselves for too long before being moved on again.
