Eddie M. "Fat" Coco Jr., Transylvania, Louisiana 8 - 2002

"Eddie M. 'Fat' Coco Jr., Transylvania, Louisiana" is a photograph from Deborah Luster's series "A Crack in the Pavement," a series that depicts individuals in rural Louisiana, many of whom live below the poverty line. The image, taken in 2002, features a young man, Eddie M. "Fat" Coco Jr., draped in the American flag. The photograph explores themes of identity, poverty, and the complexities of American culture through the lens of intimate portraiture. Luster's use of a muted, sepia tone further enhances the emotional impact of the image.
