one of the most common ways that we document our lives is with photos. But what are we actually attempting to do when we snap the shot. We take to photo to try and capture a memory that we fear will otherwise be lost. Then when we look back we are rushed by a magnitude of emotions that we have connected with that photo, that memory. Isn't that tv purpose of the photo? To document those emotions. Is it better to store the memories in our hearts or in the photos? The heart never forget the at we felt after our first kiss or that sunrise over the ocean. The phot serves to capture the visually so the dart can be reminded.
What Lê has done in the phot here I display are in bo way related to the above random thought. He has taken the brokenness of being from two worlds and put them together to demonstrate to the world who he is. What I think the photos do is offer a critique about America and the dream that we are living in and not really being exposed to the bitter reality.
I want to remember re best way pssible so as to not forget the fact that I have been blessed.
