As a disclaimer and an explanation, this is in no way a political statement on the current president, and any “between-the-lines” reading should be considered unintentional and quite frankly damaging to the art. I want this public figures as babies series (name still pending) as an expression of the vulnerability of human leaders. Regardless of beliefs or political preferences, every leader we uphold started out the same way we all did, as tiny, defenseless babies. I chose to start with President Barak Obama, not as a political statement, but rather simply because his term is almost up, and I wanted to keep this relevant. So I hope you enjoy the art and I hope that you can think about the frailty of human life, no matter how powerful a person becomes.
