Raiyda & Mutaqui Wright, "Chain of Life"

My brother and I chose a work of art by Bill Viola titled The Deluge from a greater project known as Going Forth By Day. This piece showed how normal lives are caught unprepared when they have an awareness of something great and deadly about to happen.

We chose this piece because we felt it showed how people act indifferently even when life-changing events are about to occur.
Our Flash Movie was based on the panels "The Deluge" and "The Voyage." We wanted to show that even if catastrophic events occur, in this case death, life will still prevail and can even benefit from the aftermath. We have the water to depict something beautiful and powerful, yet deadly. Death, in this sense, is a giver of life.
