Mary Oestereicher Hamill. A senior
research scientist in the New York Mental Health System, tenured Associate Dean of
Undergraduate Studies at Brooklyn College, and Associate Professor of Psychology
and Dean Undergraduate Studies at Babson College. She did not stop there and
went a step beyond her career of education reform and take a Diploma from
Museum School. Her works of photographing and recording of homeless people
across New York and her installation art of featuring Chinese vendor and street
market in China and New York Chinatown named ‘regardregard’ Project received
good reception and won awards.
Although as medical scholar, she did
produced some artwork of bones and body structures but most of her works lies
on the spiritual and mentality by showing various faces of old folks still in
vendor even in armchair and smiles of homeless despite their circumstance. She
also intended to raise awareness in Cambodia and Vietnam about their
dilapidated medical service and system by her video “Tangible Measures”.
Her works strive on the forgotten or
the people that were left behind by the sweeping thrive of conglomerates and
professionalism. She intend to show us,
the elites of management and skills from cities the faces we forgot or cast
away to remind them these people work as hard as we are just to win a bread or
irk a living. Awareness does not mean charity. It only shows you what you did
not know of and rekindles the spark that what holds you when you were young.
You only need to know and remember as there is nothing more you can help them
except a donation of generosity and compassion and a fair treatment as one of
the members of society.
Of the most, Madam Oestereicher wish us
to show the determination and happiness of these people able to salvage and
cherish even though what they own is little but it is content and hold a dear
value to them.
