Abstract

The creative project we created, titled “Power Fragmentation” is a Dada-inspired comical collage art board that explores the progression of psychological ruin of the mind of an undemocratic leader in a therapy session. With the use of fragmented text, surreal unison of cut-out images from magazines, and absurd humor, this creative piece serves as a critique of historically established power structures and the role that paranoia plays in the subjects' lives. In the conceptual therapy session, we take advantage of what is a traditionally serious setting and make it the center stage for exposing an undemocratic ruler losing their mind.
