Photography: Color, C-type, Paper and Photo on Paper. Highway Oases was one of my favorite works to make because I got to relive a bit of American history. In America the highway is a symbol of freedom. It's a place where people leave comfort and safety of home behind. It's a concrete path to follow for those who are searching for something better. Many of the American highways follow the wagon trails established by pioneers, pilgrims, or refugees. When the automobile was invented in the early 20th century, highways had to be built to accommodate all the new drivers. Businesses such as motels, restaurants, and gas stations sprung up to service the weary travelers. It wasn't until after World War II that Americans really fell in love with cars and driving. The 1950's were a time of peace, prosperity, and unbridled consumerism. I'm really fascinated with that period in American history.

A Perestroika baby, I was allowed to be fascinated by American culture. From Russia you only know America from Hollywood movies and Pop music videos. With a mind already primed for propaganda I had no hesitation accepting the fantasy, unaware that America not only tolerates propagation of this dream but that its entire economy is dependent upon it. Little did I realize that the American Dream had long been dead if it ever existed at all. In 1996, the zombie capitalist playground known as Central Florida became my home. I was welcomed by strip malls, convenience stores, fast food establishments, family friendly chain restaurants, and gas stations where 24 hours a day I was free to buy a t-shirt that said "GOD DON'T MAKE NO TRASH." This was serious business to me since I was used to waiting in line for our monthly rations of single-ply. My current work reflects the gluttony of the over-saturated market. The images were captured on my travels throughout the country between September 2008 and the present. I take photos because the world is always changing and prone to white-washing the hardships from which we ought to have learned, but these images are static, frozen bits of time to mark the grave sites of the insatiable giants. www.christinastorozkova.com
