About this Image:
Individual Story VI – I Am Here is a stone lithograph; Nam used only crayon to create this image and it is based on photographs he took himself. Nam depicts a grass-covered Time Square, transforming what was once the pulse of New York City into a ghost town; what may appear as the mecca of popular culture is silenced, reminding us that social class and access to information, finances, and the internet are defining culture in a global economy. American culture, often focused on assimilation, can leave the cultural outsider isolated, as if in a remote field where the masses of people become blades of grass, slowly growing over, engulfing and burying the vestiges of culture that remain in this modern metropolis.
