Molly Fair
Ferris Wheel Over Baghdad
$12

I made this print after I read a news article in 2008 about a plan to boost tourism in Iraq by building the world's largest ferris wheel dubbed the "Baghdad Eye" during a supposed lull in violence. I decided to use the image of the ferris wheel as a symbol of cycles of war, and tourism as a euphemism for invasion.
