Father’s Day Contest: The Winner!
By Anthony Freda
This image is poetic in its use of allusions. One recognizes Obama solely from the nape of his neck and his posture, and his protective arm is draped over a younger hooded figure. This is really good visual storytelling about a president who insists on the importance of fathers. The image refers to very specific people, but it’s phrased as a statement about every father’s desire to protect his children. I also saw in it a reference to this wall, a nice touch.
