The subject matter is based on my research of the day April 6th, 1917. On that day, United States was undergoing its economic heyday yet Europe was devastated heavily by the World War I. Disparate situations between US and Europe have been revealed in this work as viewers could interpret the different imagery and hues juxtaposed in the poster with different altitudes. To be mentioned, the portrait of a military officer extracted from a France-based newspaper released on April 6th, 1917—a snippet of the obituary announcing his death in the World War I—is cropped and placed in gradient in order to indicate the brutality of the war and its strong impact on every individual of that time.
