SACRIFICE/EMBRACE is a distillation of Green’s experiences
in Chicago on the night Obama was elected President. He was
embracing a new beginning, but it was also a moment of sacrifice as
he prepares to become the most powerful man in the world. It was
important to Green that this part of the cycle was not an image of
triumph or a happy ending. It does not signal completion of anything -
this was the beginning of a long road.
