My concept is focused on the idea that Trump will be faced with explaining his involvement of the capital riot and 2020 election lies to Americans a little too late. I used that to create the atmosphere around his speech. Including a prison visitation room, a court room, a cell, and prison cafeteria. All of which he is performing his speech to supporters.

In the visitation room, the reporters/supporters are represented through they’re reflections on the glass dividers or just placed on the opposite side of him. I wanted to place Steve Bannon (his associate) as a prisoner in the background whom was convicted for contempt of Congress.

In the court room concepts, the idea was to have Trump in front of an audience of supporters and judge/jury which he hides voting cards, rioting note behind his back towards his supports but away from Judgement.

Also, included were concepts of Trump on an Instagram Live video talking to supporters via prison
