The piece I chose to critique is a piece with two faces in black and white. The one person's face is in the top left corner and the other person is at the bottom right. Dividing them is a white diagonal line from the bottom left corner to the top right. In the line are the words in black and white font that says "You destroy what you think is difference."
The artist is giving a message in the piece of art that individuality and uniqueness is beautiful- and necessary. It is not right to destroy what is difference. It also says we are all equal so what appears to be difference should be embraced. It is telling us focusing or treating differences as a weakness is wrong.
I like Kruger's work because it is abstract and makes me think. I also enjoy it because it is trying to provoke social change, it's different and the meaning isn't always obvious (the image doesn't illustrate the words). Also, because the image is black and white we concentrate on the message. Also, I like it because the image doesn't over power the words.
