In the narration by Gonnerman, it is clear that she felt empathy for Browder as she met him due to the choice of words that she uses as she describes the occurrences (Gonnerman). I believe that this is seen from the fact that she says that the stories that Browder was ...

This is based on the underlying notion that it is immoral not to provide for the well-being of others when there are no negative effects towards the self for doing so. For this reason, it is necessary for individuals to look ...

In so doing, artistic expression has metamorphosed from a rather distanced engagement in "mundane" (made into loftier expressions by professional artistic design) into an actual immersion into day-to-day actualities in order to render "real" objects in different kaleidoscopic representations, particularly in still and video installations. The emergence of rubbish (assuming "rubbish" is disposable objects ridded ...
