Empire is a four year project that discusses the issue of globalization. The project resulted in 21 images each of which incorporates 25 screen captures. The screen captures all contain the windows frame including the url that contains the primary image and other pertinent information. The 21 composite images were reassembled into three primary pieces, each one representing a different phase of the project.
