This visual I have created represents the idea of change and transformation by taking a Dystopian environment or society and adjusting it to make it potentially a Utopia. The transformation occurs in the roots of the tree and progresses into a tree from the fiery underground environment. The branches and leaves on the top of the tree merge with the clouds which represents Utopia as an almost heavenly paradise. 

This idea came purely from the research I did into Dubai and the man made islands they had created,  one which from above looked like a palm tree and the other like a rough take on the world map. The shape of the islands which I have visualised on this sketch of the world collectively spell the word Utopia. I came to the conclusion through my research that the idea of a Utopian society would be a complete fantasy given the environments we have been initially given on this planet but Dubai could potentially transform this ordeal by going through with this completely unnatural behaviour of creating their own islands/countries/environments from scratch. 




This visual shows very simply the occurrences of the 11th September attacks on America and how one action can turn a Utopia straight into a Dystopia. It also just confirms the fact that a Utopian society will never be achieved, especially all the time us as the human race are going through with such acts to cause mass hurt and pain to one another.

This visual shows a Swastika placed in a maze. This is meant to represent the issues Hitler and his men had to tackle to make this radical idea Hitler had to create this super race and society even a slight possibility. For every turn and pause in the maze represents a new issue that would have to be overcome to continue with this regime, for example the addition of the gas cambers to eradicate the jews and the mentally/physically disabled was put in place mostly due to the amount of strain that was put on the Nazi shooters to kill them personally.
