Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog, "Theory of Iconic Realism" to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

'Global Water Foundation: Africa is Gasping' and Iconic Realism (Click onto this title to see and hear video


Thumbnail photo from YouTube video
An effective way for public service organizations to reach the public is through a multi-sensory approach. Such is the case with the Global Water Foundation. To bring awareness of water shortages throughout the continent of Africa, this organization has created a brief, poignant film using iconic realism as a way to elucidate its audience of this grave ecological issue. In this brief film, the iconic image of a whale leaping out of the desert sand focuses the audience's attention on the increasingly devastating diminution of potable water, not only in Africa, but worldwide.
