WITH THE FULL TITLE “WHEN I WAS CLOSE ENOUGH,
I REALIZED A LAWN WAS JUST ASTROTURF”, THE ILLUSTRATOR PRESENTS HER IDEAL SUMMER, FRUSTRATED BY WORKING ALL SUMMER. SHE CHOOSES THIS SAME IMAGE TO TELL A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY : ASTROTURF IS AN AMERICAN BRAND OF SYNTHETIC TURF. SHE QUESTIONS OUR FRUSTRATIONS, DESIRES AND IDEALIZATIONS OF THE LIVES OF OTHERS, IS THE GRASS MUCH GREENER ELSEWHERE ?
