I-Chan Park It conveys the artist's conceptual story by borrowing the mugshot format. The portrait of the character who appears borrows a mugshot, and the form of the expression has the texture of a polaroid, and the message delivered by the simple text is matched with the visual message delivered by the photo.
Stemming from the phrase "no good deed goes unpunished" this series examines the small instances of anger in our everyday lives that can have lasting effects. With a bit of humor and irony - we are presented with tintype mugshots of people who have been arrested for doing good, being helpful or tolerant, or doing their part in the world. The photo also illustrates the consequences that befell them. I hope this series will inspire the viewer to take the underlying message to heart and assess how we treat strangers, family, and friends as we all travel this moment in time together.
