RossAllana VtP Annotation: ethnographic insight

This image belies what its caption reveals: it looks like an idealized setting, where fields are bounded by forest and simple dwellings nestled among them. The greenhouses appear small enough to be for personal use. Only the caption reveals what is truly going on. The tension between the image and the caption creates a feeling of unease-one can't trust their own senses in analyzing an image; additional information is needed. The message is the insidious omnipresence of toxicity--it's everywhere, even if you can't see it.
