The Mansion Of News

Medium for drawings: Water-proof marker

Materials for the model: Balsa-wood, 0.03mm PVC plastic, wooden-stick

This is a 3-D model that I have made to express my feeling toward News Medias nowadays. The mansion in the centre represents the media, and I have made it transparent as transparency is the core value of every news media. I have also included the wings of cicada in the design, as cicada represents integrity in Chinese Taoism.

The reason why I have made this model is that freedom of speech has been actively advocated nowadays. However, more and more news media are suppressed by political groups, and they broadcast news in a stringed way. This is to hope that every news media in the world can be a monitor of the government freely and are free from suppression.

In the design, the central mansion is safeguarded by the 'news sticks' around.
