But that is a matter of interpretation and it can easily be said, just as readily, that Diane humanized the obscure and marginalized. The value of her work is there to be had. She opened a door for us, as viewers, which was closed before and by doing so she allowed us to look at and come to terms with our own feeling about these people, whom we’ve either actively of complicity helped to marginalize. She gave us the opportunity to look in their eyes and see a broader width of humanity, regardless of her intentions. Perhaps that is the deeper value of her work; it exists outside of and beyond her because it is so deeply rooted in the manner in which society is structured, and that is a structure in which we participate in daily.
