Using an analog camera, the artist re-photographs existing depictions of crying women found on vintage record sleeves and in romance comic strips, isolating small details such as the corner of an eye or a single teardrop. Drawn mostly from the Cold War era and its rigid gender roles, the photographs collapse many different anonymous depictions into one repeated gesture of manufactured sorrow.
