- Description:
- Manipulated photograph by Amalia Amaki.
Amaki is well known for her photo-based mixed media constructions. She often begins with historical and/or stereotypical images of African Americans, and then uses buttons and other found objects to transform these images into objects of power. Her work explores the ways images are perceived and interpreted; in this piece she explores how specific relationships affect stereotyping and discrimination.
