Label Text:This volume includes images and stories of people hidden in plain sight: the homeless in America. In particular, Robinson explores the forgotten people of her hometown, Columbus, Ohio. She incorporates pieces of plastic bags and corrugated cardboard into her images in this book as a nod to the materials of daily life for those living on the street.
