Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: " Through my artistic interpretation, I aimed to Illuminate the famous photograph in a new light by depicting the moment it was taken. By including Dorothea Lange in my reconstruction, I hope to give her the recognition she deserved while illustrating the raw and intimate connection between the photographer and the photographed."
