The central idea behind "Vanishing" was to present a alternate reality in which art no longer exists, a reality that is slowly become real. Due to funding cuts across the country, art programs in public schools are being lost. This current generation of young artists is slowly losing their only outlet in which an outside influence helps fund their creativity, and the upcoming generation might not have the chance at all. Art has an immeasurable application on accompanying parts of a high scholars curriculum, and the creative process that a student applies to art can be found useful in many other aspects of school life. The importance of saving school art programs is also heightened due to the recent amount of funding thrown to other places, places that we feel are far less important than ensuring creativity for future generation
