Freewrite #1 Part 2

For my thesis, I want to take statistics that people most likely already know (i.e. how many american lives have been lost in the war...) and pair them with an iconic american image. I will pixelate the image and then take out a percentage of the pixels based on the statistic. The pixels that I remove will then be presented in a way that further illustrates/makes the point.
For example, going with the war theme - The statistic will be that 1 in 4 (or 25%) of soldiers either die in Iraq or return injured. I would therefore removed a random 25% of the "pixels" from the image. The image, in this case, would be something that represents American military prowess - i.e. uncle sam. The image (minus the pixels) itself would be displayed on the wall. I would then take the pixels that were cut out and manipulate them in a way that reflects what happens to the those people that are lost. For example, after death, all that consists of your life can fit into a shoe box. So, I would put all of the pixels in a shoebox. Possibly manipulating them further - i.e. injuring or putting holes in them (i.e. bullet holes).
I would do this process for a range of topics. These are the image/statistic pairings I came up with for the senior night thing:

*Statue of Liberty – ”Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,” vs. The % of immigrants denied citizenship. the number of illegal immigrants who are deported yearly...
*Uncle Sam – “I want YOU “ vs. The % of families with a member overseas/dead.
*Rosie the Riveter – “We Can Do It” vs. % of women turned into single mothers from the war. Or % of people who are currently holding multiple jobs because of the economy or a statistic about unequal pay between men and women.
*The Dollar Bill– economy – American superiority vs. the % of people on welfare or the multiple jobs at minimum wage. The poverty line.
*Lady Justice – Justice is Blind vs. The % of couples denied marriage because they are homosexual.
*Nasa imagery – American development and endeavors vs. The % of the world’s resources the US uses or the % of Americans that don’t believe in Global Warming.
*Healthcare symbol or Norman Rockwell’s “The Check Up” – Healthcare vs. The % of Americans who cannot afford healthcare or the % of deaths that could have been prevented with proper healthcare.
*The Flag - American Pride – The Union of America vs. The % of people hurt/killed from hate crimes.
*50’s ads - (perfect American Family) vs. % of people affected by domestic violence.
*Pledge of Allegiance – Education vs. the % of students who drop out or the % of students who are below No Child Left Behind standards.
*More Imagery I am thinking about - Liberty Bell (Freedom), Eagle (Courage), “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit,” “We the People”
