Photomontage Part 1 - Sketches

The name of my project is GREED. I thought about 2 concepts to make my project.

1st Concept: I choose to show the continent of Africa. How is greed affecting this continent. I thought about it because of the recent killing of Cecil the Lion. I am originally from Africa and I know what my continent has been through in order to get "Independence" from Europeans. But is Africa really independent now, Is Africa really FREE?

these are the images that I thought I could use for this project. Maybe incorporating the of the crying woman inside the west side of the Africa where her cry can directly go into the ocean ( a real ocean or a bloody one to show the many war like the Sudan one or the Congo one that are making millions die), with the lion face at the middle, the handcuff as belt to the whole continent, the sunshine being taken away on top with the word "FREE?". Or maybe I might do it differently,

2nd Concept: I drew  6 other pictures that I think are interrelated to Human Greed.

I am still thinking about how I am going mix them together, but the message is how far are human going to go (destroying trees, animals and each other just for the love of money), how blind sided is money making human kind.
