I appreciated how the image brought about a strong affective response. While there is an element of humour in this image (and this is nice because it forms a continuous affective arc along with the Trump image) there also exists a feeling of anger and disappointment. I like how this image can convey multiple affects that exists around the topic of toxicity and colonialsim.
I cannot shake the thought that this might function as part of a larger collage. In looking, I am immediately drawn to the violence of the Marine chopping the wood which has morphed in situ to a village scape. Everything here is abrupt visually and from my POV begs for an opening up of narrative and context. That said, it does flow with the previous image's thematics, and again the text font choice, for me, alludes to an absurdity of horrrors manifest in the relationship between USAID and the island.
