Untitled (Father and Son), from the Left Behind series, 2004. Digital chromogenic color print, 40 x 30 in. (101.6 x 76.2 cm). Collection of the artist; courtesy Marvelli Gallery, New York

 Strassheim's photograph is an image I believe that I feel a level of interconnection with, yet , at the same time there is this bifurcation, visually that occurs. This visual division allows for me to feel connected with the image, like stated before, but also almost adds this trite side of information, too. All of this makes for an image that visually attracts me, but also creates this slight bit of resentment because of the vapidity that is conveyed in certain parts of her image. This in the end creates a wonderfully balanced photograph that is very inspiring.
