The progression of time is represented in an appropriate sense of "prototype"-ism form, in the sense that he uses wood and old material to convey past and present symbolically connected together. It's intriguing and thought-provoking, but the fact that a progression utilized by the Booker T Washington addition was implemented made it all the more great as the finishing polisher of his time-related arts as a whole. It's great if not overly expansive, but in some ways, it doesn't have to be, since execution counts more.

Referring to specific yet highly notable events of tragedy, hardship, agony, slavery, and brutality, her silhouettes very accurately "shadow" that to the notion of such events by her unique forms of art. Although excessive and emphasized upon intensity, it's to make it easier to understand each core focus of the message by using such exaggeration, for better or worse. It's both realistically controversial and commendable at the same time.

This is, to me personally, the most immersing entry out of all the artists relating to the idea of time, memory, progression, and preserving things. She uses photos with special, authentic, and arduously executed effects that convey very strongly into the themes of death, phantom-like existence, and "people in place and time" with the children, natural settings, and photo effects explicitly shown. That said, the techniques are very articulate and requires serious energy appliance as it's also location sensitive to where she takes the photos, not just how she does them in the process of using the photograph itself and its physical components set up altogether. The subjects in the field are a necessary finisher to her entire idea and goal in mind, materialized.
