Illustration for contents page of The Washington Post Magazine (3 of 6)

Illustration (3 of 6) on the contents page in The Washington Post Magazine for the year! Each illustration is titled by the artist and contains a brief interview about the piece. ‘The Myth of Merit’ The college admissions scandal brought to the fore how members of the upper class can manipulate ideas around “merit” to prove that their success is not arbitrary. Since celebrities were indicted in the scandal, I used a green screen set to play on the idea of students’ images being created for them by others.
