Migrant Mother

Great Depression

This is a photograph of a 32-year-old migrant woman with seven children captured during the Great Depression. This photo is a medium for social thought. Through her facial expression and physical conditions, we see the struggle that this period brought for her and her family. The fact that this photo is black and white and is solely focused on their faces and their background really captures the humanity and the distress their humanity brings. Photographs like these make the viewer see society from the inside and make us somewhat more attentive to various social meanings and conditions that are different from our own.
