Idea (1): Myth of Fairy Tales
- Always had this idea that fairy tales are gothic and shouldn't be for children.
- E.g. In Snow white there is a Witch that gives Poison Apple (concept of evil-ness, death, murder), and Prince Charming Kissing Snow White (concept of romance, love, sex)
- Thought there is nothing innocent about fairy tales.
- Fairy tales is a concept that is very surrealistic in nature.
- Thus photomontage of fairy tale character i.e. red riding hood, in a urban setting (skyscrapers at the back) with dense forest/trees in the foreground. Photo manipulation of shadow that looks like a wolf. Mannequins planted like scarecrow amongst the trees to represent consumerism, capitalism...

Idea (2): The Capitalist Society
- People are like hamsters working and running on the wheel to produce energy etc.: thus photo of water wheel/flyer to represent the wheel.
- Superimposed with escalators, mannequins etc. to represent consumerism/capitalism.
- Consumers are trapped in the society: add in bird cage
- But trapped or not is a idea/matter of perception, relativism: add in concept of optial illusion, superimpose escalators in upside down manner...

After some thoughts, thought that idea 2 is more workable then 1. Can't get ideas how to present/act as red riding hood etc...
