Your Home Deserves Protection is a sculptural work comprised of found objects, surveillance cameras, televisions, and postcards. It has been designed to discuss ways that propaganda attempts to convince individuals they need protection from a perceived enemy. Display stands illuminate postcards which depict aspects of protection such as a soldier, a telephone advertisement, the Avro Arrow aircraft etc. Through the use of reacting surveillance cameras, the sculpture creates an interactive element with the audience.
