I chose this artist/link because it just so happens that this year I'm taking a class about the US Government and Politics so I actually find it a bit interesting that someone has thought to use such an innovative way to express their opinions about their own government. One of the many reasons why I love art is because I believe that even without words, different forms of art can change the world. With different art works relating to topics that affect different people's lives from different place, paintings, sculptures, or photographs can influence how we see the world and how we can helps change the world.
Through simple creations of paper boats, the artist is able to send a simple message that's crucial within their own government. I think that's one of the most important reasons why art is influential and at the same time help change their government.
