Idea decided

I went with the idea on modern society and presume that the other idea might cross paths later on in my project. I related modern society to a colony of ants, how we all buzz about throughout our whole lives doing work and getting things done, I also liked the fact that we are both ruled , us being under control of our government and the ants under control of  the queen. Both do hard labour for our rulers. I also catagorised religion, law and war with our government as they all have so much followers and power over us. I wanted to illustrate some the the problems of modern society but bring the ants into them along the way. I think some visually interesting pieces could be made with the idea of ants and there being thousands of something together at once.

I ordered an ant farm which has arrived but im still waiting on the ants. I hope they're behaviour will inspire some ideas. I plan to observe and record their tunnels as they are building them and perhaps make patterns from theirs. I noticed some other similarities between humans and ants such as we are both social creatures who aim to manipulate our environment, we both wage wars and battle with toxic chemicals, we both practise slavery and some other little connections.
