Process

Since the picture I took above was what I immediately thought of when told about this project, I found it fitting that I use American Gothic as my baseline inspiration for my artwork. Considering selfie sticks are ever-increasingly popular right now, it was not difficult to come up with the idea of having the farmer hold that instead of a pitchfork. Not only that, but selfie sticks perfectly represent the main theme that I was trying to portray about our generation: the emphasis on self-image.
