The Trappings of Commercial Tourism

Looking back on past travels as an admirer and student of art history, I cannot help but be dismayed and disappointed by what I perceive as the Disneyfication of beautiful and historical sites. This work is an exaggeration of my experience in 2003 while exploring the beautiful tidal island French city of Le Mont-Saint-Michel. The composited images serve as a visual manifestation and a warning of what commercialism and greed could bring if left unchecked.
