Sample Image

Photograph of billboard that reads, “12 million kids are held hostage by a psychiatric disorder,” in words and letters cut out of print sources and pasted together, as in a ransom note. The billboard is framed diagonally against a blue sky, with a shallow depth of field that blurs part of it. Smaller text on the billboard reads, “Help a child …” then becomes illegible. Billboard is part of New York University Child Study Center’s (2007) “Ransom Notes” campaign.
