Hello everyone! 😎📷

Sunday is my day for photo manipulation and here's an entry to the Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 196 - 35 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

The first thought that came to my mind when I saw the house in the basic photo was that someone must be looking through the windows. Good. But what should they be looking at? Well, that's a slightly more difficult question.
I linked this to the UNHCR - the UN Refugee Agency - report, which says the number of displaced people worldwide this year is the highest ever. Around 110 million people! What a huge number! And most of them because of armed conflict and violence. Is this the globalization we want? Expectations that tensions would stabilize were completely wrong.

So the inhabitants of the house (or should I even say indigenous people) watch from a distance, through the windows, the crowds of unhappy people who, tired, frustrated, slowly getting fed up with everything, are trying to get to their better tomorrow which was supposed to be a symbol of freedom and prosperity, but where what they have imagined is not waiting for them anymore.

The creation process

I made the collage in Photoshop.
First, I changed the background from the base image, leaving the house and adding the symbolic element.
The other objects I first edited and then layered into the base image.

Hope you have fun!
