A Wakefield High School student’s digital photo titled “Shadows of Democracy” will be featured in the U.S. Capitol.
Charlie Williams, a senior, noted that he took the digital photo of a reflection in a puddle just weeks before rioters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
“This is a reflection of the U.S. Capitol after a rainstorm,” Williams said, as quoted in a news release. “I was able to capture the detail in the Capitol Dome through the puddle and tried to convey the emotions in the image.”
Williams said his photo represents “an alternate reality which serves as a premonition of what the government can become if democracy falls.”
