People are complex, yet condensed into a molds of representation that limit their expectations. The rest becomes internalized and art has or can be the opportunity to expose that possibility.I think Obama has just changed the construction of representation for future generations. Young children growing up in the US during his presidency will obtain a completely different perspective and image of African Americans than those past. Obama has challenged stereotypes and many racist Americans looked past their prejudice of his name and skin to actually vote in his favor. It's amazing since I have previously seen the "change" as idea in conceptual art and Obama literally unfixed the system in real time!

It is indeed a remarkable time and Obama's willingness to speak complexly about it gives me hope. But the image that you are using isn't by me, as cute as that guy is.
