object project ideas

For my inspiration,  I was given a silver and orange metal clamp. From the thought bubbles, I came up with the idea of diversity and segregation. I am deciding between doing old timey, black and white  pictures, or present day metaphorically segregated pictures. I think it would be cool to have a group of white models and a group of black models who are all jumbled together but have a similar focal point separating each group. One of my friends is also going to help me come up with ideas and model for me because she is very passionate about this subject. I either want to do all portrait/instudio or out of studio in a field or big area like that.
