Life without Law and Order!
I used Adobe Illustrator to vectorize a still life photo of a girl and the jar; and used Gimp Image Editor to create the current effect with the help of various in-built gimp features.
I tried to portray a surreal effect of a girl trapped in a jar, and incorporated an image of Chicago in the backdrop.
I believe law and democracy go hand in hand. And that is exactly what I tried to exhibit through my work. I basically tried to illustrate how having no law and order in the country might take a toll on people's day to day lives, which might in turn have an impact on their democratic and human rights.

HOMELAND INSECURITY : This is what the picture summarizes .The contest between liberty and security has been with America since its founding. It has been fought on the public stage by every President from George Washington to Barack Obama. Each generation, from those facing rebellion in the 1860s to those pushing back against government intrusions a century later, has debated where to strike a balance. But in the dark world of 21st century law enforcement, where terrorist threats can hide behind our most cherished freedoms, the battle sometimes takes place in government documents so obscure that they escape public notice.
As Washington debates what lessons to draw from Boston, Americans say they’re more concerned about protecting liberty than attaining perfect security. Support for public surveillance cameras may be up substantially over the past decade, but Americans are warier than ever about government monitoring of their private cell-phone and e-mail communications,
Many intelligence professionals are resigned to the idea that just as we’ll never stop every deranged school shooter, we simply won’t catch everyone with a violent ideology and some explosives. Not while we refuse to make it easy for the government to snoop through our e-mails and phone records. And not if we agree that it’s wrong to spy on places of worship that on exceedingly rare occasions attract people who can do tremendous harm. “We may find this was preventable,” says former CIA chief Michael Hayden. “But let me also tell you, this was inevitable.” The same could be said for our struggle to find the right balance between liberty and security.
