We are confronted (almost daily) with images via television, print and online media of (terror) threats and attacks causing society unease, fear and panic. But for most of us this view remains distant and perception rather abstract since the viewer of such images is uninvolved. So the question is: How can the sense of threat and fear be represented artistically?
The conceptual approach to the topic focuses on the chemical composition of materials with which feelings of fear can be linked. The main interest in the chemical composition of weapons that cause death, injuries, fear and panic led to the idea of displaying chemical formulas, since these to a non-expert are abstract too.
