Make Me Great Again
Under the title “Make Me Great Again”, I am working on a series of portraits of politicians who can be seen as representatives of populism, a political and social ideology that is gaining increasing ground.
I chose Donald Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” as a starting point to interpret and visualize this movement.
The portraits are constructions made from interconnected pipes. These “portrait structures” are combined with semi-abstract drawings in which similar pipe constructions play with perspective and spatiality. Through these (construction) drawings, I attempt to visualize the longing evoked by the slogan “Make America Great Again.”
By adapting the slogan to “Make Me Great Again,” the political becomes personal. What this pursuit of greatness entails for these politicians—and in what form it should manifest—is also a question the viewer might ask themselves.
