Tracey Moffatt - Scarred for Life - 1994
Tracey Moffatt takes the small yet traumatic humiliations of daily life, the feelings of inadequacy which may indeed scar us for life.
These themes are universal, but seem very poinant when placed in the setting of the 1970s with Aboriginal youth. I can only imagine that racism was still a part of daily life back in the 1970s. So by taking the humilations that a youth would have to go throw by their parent and peers and placing that in a contex where a soicitey dosn't fully accept them as well.
