Occupy Ennui

While walking to UMF Mantor Library I spotted this protest taking place--in the middle of an empty commons? Turns out, that's the whole idea. An art installation by Ben, assisted by his classmates, on the theme of apathy, both public and private.

Ben was faced with a creative block where he couldn't really find something to care about. His instructor suggested Ben use apathy as a theme. Ben took the idea and ran with it. "It's about the hypocrisy," Ben explained. "People don't care, I don't care. People don't care because they're isolated."
