Emergency Battery
by Rachel Turney
Emergency Battery shows the global link of our human reliance on small things in life, like batteries. The image depicts the convergence of language and the use of greetings as a way to market a product. This piece captures the old and the new, the foreign and the local, converging over a shared, necessary household item.
