America Series
In the same tradition as photographers in decades past — Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Richard Avedon — my intention is to share a different point of view on the current face of America: as a woman and an immigrant. I made two cross-country trips on a route influenced by America’s historic migration — one of hopes, dreams, and opportunities. Using an electric vehicle as a mobile portrait studio, I photographed people from all walks of life, at charging stations, hotels, restaurants, and everywhere along the way.
Against a backdrop of man-made urban landscapes, strip malls, endless parking lots, fast food chains, and billboards urging people to consume more, I saw the economic difference between Americans that have, and Americans that have not. “The great divide” we hear about in media and politics may be real, but this experience also points to how each meeting reveals that there is more connecting us than dividing us.
