Miss America

Through the blood on Miss America's eyes and arms, one can see the violence she had to endure even while living in the United States. Her elegant hairstyle and heels shows that she has the ideal American life. Despite living a luxurious life, she still had to see and experience this violence. To further reveal the violence and bloodshed, the photographer has also captured the Asian man's fear-filled face when a gun is pointed to his head. On the bottom panel, one can also see soldiers showing their superiority by holding guns in their hands and looking down at the dead. This photograph goes so far to reveal the torture one has to face. With a variety of symbolic colors, it captures the viewer's eye.
