Judges Comment

What a sad time in culture. Here captured with a person who - due to her age - will be responsible for sorting out the mess and carrying it forward from here and to the next generations. Look at it, think about it; It can be seen from so many different points of view … ("Fuck 12" is slang for “Fuck the police” originating from Atlanta, Georgia. “Pride” can be understood dually as being proud of something, or to be full of one self, or short for Pride Month, the hand can symbolize “black power”, and so on … many things to read from this, the masks and statues also a part of it. One of the really messy periods of culture where the world leaders made sure for all to … wear masks. And the girl, did she decide to stand there, or was she directed … and was everybody being directed these two years, or did they feel an urge to express their own opinion? Each person may have his or her own opinions, and that is the beauty of (this) photograph, that it leaves it up to you to form your own opinion.
