Vignette

The Japanese American internment vignette that captured my attention the most was the image of citizens being herded into the Santa Anita horse stables like animals.

Thankfully our society is now educated enough that this type of thing would never be able to happen again.

I used to work at a farm and cleaning the stables was one of the dirtier jobs due to all of the urine and horse dung.

The image of soldiers forcing people into living in something meant for an equine makes me feel guilty for being an American.

To me the artist did an excellent job of extending the horse stable infinitely into the next vignette as a way of demonstrating how big Santa Anita actually is.

The artist also created one large soldier with a rifle who is bigger than the Japanese as a way of showing the authoritative power over a culture that is powerless and weaponless.

I am deeply saddened that such an event happened in our history.
