This photo book was the summation of more than six years on the road (from 2014 to 2020), with the artist crisscrossing America, moving from one high poverty community or region to another across the nation (his trip took him to a total of 46 states) and documenting the generally overlooked circumstances of pervasive poverty in this country. Mixing documentary rigor with aesthetic compassion and intensity, the project conceptually captured the inverse of the American Dream, making the everyday ground level traumas of being poor in 21st century America more explicit.
