These digital collages will make you question disparity like never before

It is hard to deny the disparity that exists in our society and in the world at large but we tend to stay ignorant about it anyway. However, with Istanbul-based artist Uğur Gallenkuş’s thought provoking photography series, staying oblivious to the unfair system has become harder than ever before. The artist carefully makes precise digital collages to show the disparate situation of the wealthy West and the war-torn Middle East.
Gallenkuş believes in creating awareness through his art since the medium helps dissolving the differences between people belonging to different nations, races and ethnicities. His work represents this vision quite perfectly with photographs of West and Middle-East combined together to show the stark and unjust difference between the two societies. One of the collages show how youngsters of the West get to enjoy the carefree days of youth while in the Middle-East, youth is bounded with terror, anger and violence.
Many more such unjust scenarios are explored by the photographer and that has undoubtedly created a wave of self-awareness and empathy amongst the global population. Check out all of them here.
