It all started from this... a photo scan of a humble egg box...
Six identical egg cups facedown, all connected with bridges, resembling a ladder. Then I felt that the orange pigmented cardboard, dotted with pores, was like the skin of Donald Trump. And then I thought that each egg cup could be Trump's face, each cup demonstrating a different facial expression that is the many faces of Trump.
If the arrangement of cups is similar to cell division, it is a dangerous representation of Trump's utopia, contaminating the USA with his stupendous political power, allowing his political power to duplicate and dominate. The egg box pods and inter-bridges display a globular ladder that Donald attempts to climb, empowering his political input over America that he thinks he possesses. Which is the value of eggs correlates to how people view Trump. An idiot. An egg. The more he tries to vocalise his opinions, the bigger of an egg he is.
As much as he is an egg, he is a big character in politics and that as much as we hate him he is lovable in a sense that nobody can take him seriously. He is a figure to laugh at in politics due to his distinct appearance and mannerisms to the extent that we question why and how he ended up representing a nation. The image lacks his iconic fluffy bleached wave of a hair do' (one of his many assets) as I wanted to show that if we strip Trump back he is as ordinary as an egg and that authority is something that is constructed.
Sadly not all of the facial expressions look like Trump but I figured that as look as the skin is orange it is Trump this is because that his facial expressions are so exaggerated that it changes his face completely. Also that is egg box is a portrayal of how Trump wants to build America, shaping everyone so that they have close similarities with him and "making America great again." Through this perspective "making America great again" is making everyone on the same wavelength as Trump.
