Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "Dorothea Lange worked in only black and white, so I left her pictures in an optical black to bring out the idea that this all happened many years ago. I tried my best to bring detail to the picture “Migrant Mother” because the photograph that Dorothea is most recognized for."
