It looks like the artist is trying to call attention to the hopelessness and despair caused by lack of access to educational opportunities and economic inequality. it makes me sad to see such young people already feeling shut out of success in life because of our unfair system. (We need student loan forgiveness and free higher education in this country. They do it that was in the progressive European Union democracies.) |

They're sort of languid. But it's more bleak and deflated than anything. "I wanted to find a softness and vulnerability to these guys that I don't think is portrayed a lot," said photographer Liz Calvi Edited by Roctopus, Jun 28 2015, 02:42 PM.
