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

This article matters to American people/voters and all citizens whom follow politics. What I find interesting is though I often disagree with Trump and his actions, I do believe the article poses a valid point: That Americans do deserve to hear from trump regarding the pivotal moment (including the attempting to subvert the 2020 Presidential Election and inciting the Mob that attacked the capitol). He may fight the subpoena, however the evidence seems to surely be working against him. But through freedom of speech it is his right to address the circumstances if necessary and its understanding that his supporters would want to hear from him regarding it, especially as some supporters are now experiencing the repercussions of their actions.

My thought is that if he waits too long, regardless of whether his words help or hurt his case – it may come from behind a non-contact or telephone visitation room in prison instead of a public forum. So I’ve brainstormed ideas that may depict that image using a portrait image of Trump with the phone to his ear, and to represent the supporters anticipating his speech – I thought it was be interesting to use the reflection of the glass divider to show his supporters. The reflection may give me creative flexibility to possibly place some metaphoric imagery.
