Luka and Tanya
Country: Bermuda
This was quite a difficult challenge, however I think we found a way to not only make it work, but make an interesting statement with our submission. We chose Bermuda, and tried to show 2 very different sides of the island. Luka represents the average person living in Bermuda. His relaxed pose combined with annoyed facial expression represents that he is all too familiar with what Tanya represents.
Tanya represents what the island has become, consumerism and tourism that has lead to the exploitation of the island and its citizens. Her hyper posed, seductive pose marketing something represents the image of the island that large corporations want you to see the island is to make it appealing to vacationers to go there. It helps strip away the unique culture of the island itself and presents a facade of what companies want you to see.
I also wanted to note that Luka specifically represents St. George's Island in Bermuda. The patches and badges on his shirt mirror what St. George's is known for, the bright and colorful houses.
