Vik Muniz's Kyber Pass (Self-Portrait as an Oriental) is a piece I saw in the High Museum of Art. It is a photograph of a collage made of children's toys. He is posed with his eyes winced as if in pain with his hand to his forehead, and his head is tilted downward. To me this expresses a sadness which everyone has felt and is an inevitable emotion, making it a human condition. Artists represent the human condition by communicating common human experiences through their art.
