Dead White Guys from US History

This series depicts the portraits of Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Hamilton, Ulysses S. Grant and Ben Franklin found on US currency, though lacking skin and muscle. These haunting visages appear as decayed symbols of our nation alludeing to issues of corruption, decline and undermining the importance of their historical greatness.
