The Corruption of Childhood

Glitching has become a sort of art form in recent years as a way to find new meaning in photographs and digital pictures.  In the picture below, you can see the children of and unemployed trapper, with the older sibling holding the younger one close.  In the glitched image I made, the two are seperated by the glitch in the image, which could represent how the depression has put a strain on relationships between siblings and family.  Stressfull times can cause family units to collapse or at the very least suffer, and the Great Depression is no exception.
