Her photographs are seen more as cutouts of time, being that her pieces are heavily based on documenting daily events in economics, politics, and culture. Her pieces capture the mood of the incident that is affecting the world, and are therefore very powerful in my opinion.
One of her pieces, the one on the right, he depicts the opposite of two people, being that one is heavily burdened, struggling, and to emphasize the point, walking up hill. Then you have the opposite, who seems comfortable, wealthy, and is walking downhill. I especially what the picture says just by looking at the road, and how each are affected by the environment. The uphill climb represents the struggle the poorer man is having not only physically, but mentally too, and it speaks so strongly. The same is true for the opposing wealthy man, easily strolling downhill. This piece depicts the two sides of my identity, and i really like this thought of the two opposing sides confronting each other and dealing with the other in a specific environment.
This piece really flies far for me, because, with the work of construction that i have been doing about the dual construction, and identity, i have thoughts of creating two of me in every composition, each dealing with the same thing, such as shoes, and the benefit one gets, compared to the other. I really like this piece for that reason, and want to pursue the possibility of doing what Barbara Klemm has done in this piece. I feel like it will work very well with the work i am doing now, and incorporates both the identity issues that i was dealing with in photographs, and the dual construction i was playing with in physical things that mean "Kenya" to me.
