“My Credo, my way of life, my very being is based on images capable of engraving themselves indelibly in our inner soul’s eye. Also, through my personal vision, to reveal what cannot be readily seen, to capture what is most meaningful, to enrich our appreciation of life. It is to explore and celebrate the human condition and the world around us, nature and man together, to find significance in suffering and all that is profound, beautiful and nourishes the soul. Above all, I believe in creative work through struggle to increase human wisdom and happiness”
~ Louis Stettner(1922 - 2016)
I’m an immigrant to America. I was a “dreamer” and still am. In the upcoming election, immigration remains a hot-button issue. This image, one of Louis’s truly great works, pierces the soul and breaks your heart. I could have been that little kid. Maybe you could have been that little kid. Maybe this could have been your family. Maybe this is your family.
Just get out and vote early and do the right thing.
