Artwork Description:
The huge canvas, entitled America, features large shelves of shoes at the store Marshalls. However, it is not an exact reproduction - Chiao only used initial photographs from the store and carefully collaged them into this monumental piece. This art symbolizes the abundance and wealth of goods in America, in stark contrast to many other countries, including 2000s Belarus, which was simply a poorer country.
