“The painting is about identity, and how these children are identified in such a way that their personhood is obscured (the hand over their faces).”
The painting is about identity, and how these children are identified in such a way that their personhood is obscured (the hand over their faces). Acrylic painting on 5 panels from a vintage photo of two immigrant children being held against an adult who pulls their lips back, the children holding their lower lip, for dental identification purposes. A poem flanks the separate portraits.
