Family+Homes+in+America+-+Reflection

It is so disheartening to me to see images of homes and second homes owned by the wealthy in America with the knowledge that they are such a minute minority. To then see those images in juxtaposition with images of the majority, the impoverished, the incarcerated, the punished, the demonized, is shocking and painful. These photographs illustrate the gross unequal distribution of wealth in this country, and the horrific disparities in privilege and access in this country. These large homes are canvases for what many Americans seek, it appears secure, warm, and we have seen it enough times that it feels relatable. Yet, the owners of homes like these are, in truth, the ones in power and are able to maintain a secure lower-class. The photographs on this page represent the ultimate disparities of wealth in America, and the lifestyle that so many Americans blindly seek.
