This is part of a series of works that use a flashlight's beam to illuminate two juxtaposed images. It's as if the artist is saying, Look at this, and now look at that. What do these things have in common? Why are they different? Why do you think I'm bothering to show them to you? This piece looks as if it might be a modest portrait of the State of Washington.
