What are the artist's technical choices?
Clary Estes photographed families that have stayed in the rural areas in China. Estes She seems to have underexposed some of her photos maybe to display the hardships that these families must endure while they have been left behind.
What are the artist's conceptual and/or thematic intents?
She explained that she wanted to photograph the families that have been left behind by their other families members who had traveled to the city for more opportunities. These photos display the struggles that the families must endure once they have been left. She used these photos for ask the question, "what does it mean to be left behind?"
How do you respond to these choices and intents?
I enjoy her photos because they do show the struggles that the families go through. Usually when I think of China, I imagine the cities and all the people. However, I rarely stop to think about the rural areas and the people living there. These photos help people remember what others are going through.
