Right to Life
We all see contradictions in viewpoints that differ from our own. Right to Life became an exceptionally moving image for us as we were creating it. In our work, as we become everywoman/man—whether consciously or not—we work to break down assumptions and stereotypes. In creating this image, we had to confront our own biases and judgments. As we were outfitting the women in the electric chair, we first adorned her with a long, flowing blonde wig. To our discomfort, we realized we lacked empathy for “the blond” and decided to remove the wig.
