16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
You Find Her

This photograph was inspired by Trump's tyrannical, non-constructive comment of "shithole countries" targeted towards immigrants coming to the United States. At this time, the mother of two from Senegal had only been in the United States for a couple months. To ease her tension, I retaliated to Trump's comment with a photo shoot focused on the empowerment of immigrants and her being a powerful, determined single mother from Senegal.
