Description:
Digital image of a girl wearing a mask, resting against and open door of a car in a large parking lot. Her bag reads "I HEART ME".
Historical Context:
"All my life I have been surrounded by family. When I was young, my relatives were loud characters who were impervious to the evils of boredom, banality, and backstabbing...As I grew up the image of my glossy heroic family began to fade around the edges... Like Captain America without his shield, or an Adamantium-less Wolverine, my family had become impotent to the aspects of heroism I'd elevated them to... They exist in the juxtaposition of heroism and banality, and this work is a tribute to that." -Jenna Raber
