Making Happy, AKA Exit 43 1998

"Making Happy, AKA Exit 43" is a 1998 photograph by Justine Kurland, depicting a rusted car abandoned under a highway overpass. The image's stark composition, with the car in the foreground and the towering overpass in the background, evokes a sense of isolation and decay. Kurland's work often explores themes of youth, identity, and the American landscape. This photograph, with its evocative imagery and melancholic tone, is characteristic of her signature style.
