Brozgol’s work incorporates elements of political and social discourse in a manner that examines both individual figures and the collective consciousness of American life. While creating the series “Hidden America,” Brozgol utilized his experiences as a social worker. The series features a mixed media artwork on paper for each of the fifty states in the United States of America. The subject of each work was derived from correspondences between Brozgol and strangers he anonymously connected with by placing personal ads in local and niche periodicals and classifieds. Prior to depicting strangers through symbolic portraits, Brozgol completed a series called “Significant Others,” consisting of straightforward portraits of his friends, family, and neighbors.
