Seraphine Sallin-Mason – The ''A'' Word
by Seraphine Sallin-Mason
Abortion is a fundamental right. In the United States, its practice has been restricted in half the country in recent years. The 'A' Word seeks to address this issue. In media, the associated Pro-Life/Pro-Choice iconographies are expressed with similar communication codes. These channels sensationalize the topic to startle and offend. This sensationalism distances us from the reality of abortion and the people seeking access to this care. From this visual material obtained through various resources, The 'A' Word aims to dissolve these mechanisms and reconstruct a more complex vision that, I hope, will allow us to take a critical look at this essential issue.
