Lightbox, aluminum frame78.5 x 48 x 4.25 in / 199.4 x 121.9 x 10.8 cm

R. Luke DuBois's Hindsight is Always 20/20 series uses vision as a metaphor to analyze American political discourse. Each piece features a Snellen-style chart with words from State of the Union addresses, arranged by frequency of use. The most common words appear at the top, with less frequent words at the bottom. This approach creates a clear snapshot of each president's lexicon, highlighting both historical keywords and unique rhetorical styles from their respective eras.
