For me the issue or question is not the "art" of these images but the artist's intent and philosophy. She states that they provide "that glimpse of the Real" or Truth. This is an idea that is very crucial in understanding the nature of the universe (our existence) and has also been expressed in the extremely important film; "American Beauty". The character Ricky Fitts has much the same attitude about death that this artist does as he explains why he videotaped a dead homeless woman to his girlfriend Jane. When asked by Jane; "Why did you film her?", he replies; "It's like God is looking right at you, just for a second, and if you are careful you can look right back.". To which Jane asks; "And what do you see?", and Ricky replies; "beauty".
