Collage Thoughts.........

When trying to chose an issue i have strong convictions about i automatically thought of serious issues that probably everyone could relate to... i sat back and started thinking about war, religion, poverty etc......... but i decided that i should make it a little closer to home- something that actually impacts me on a day to day basis. Then i realised theres not that much that is 'serious' and 'personal' at the same time. So.......... i started looking around my room and realised that my collections of 'toys' and useless shit actually holds an ironic sacredness to me. so i started making connections between being consumed by something that may (or may not) be of any real use in someones life. Anyway to cut a long story short- i chose one of my favourite troll dolls (yes i know im a loser) and represented it as an icon of worship eg. Virgin Mary........ so i guess im trying to make a statement about what we as individuals consider to be 'sacred' and worth dedicating our lives to can be so far from whats actually important and/or useful in life, eg. religious belief, footy teams, your country. : ) Hope that made a bit of sense.
WORSHIP IS FRIVOLOUS?????????
