King Kong and Godzilla



The design I chose is entitled King Kong and Godzilla, it was a commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. I find this piece really compelling because of the iconicism of the characters King Kong and Godzilla, both characters are symbols of destruction one for the USA and one for Japan and both characters are well known and loved throughout the movie watching world. To portray these characters holding hands instead of their traditional rampage is a clear symbolism of peace and unity of the countries they represent and I personally just think it was a highly clever way to use these characters.
