It documents established Western rituals and ceremonial roles without providing space for underrepresented identities or subversion of the status quo. Ultimately, the work mirrors the social realities of its time, offering a snapshot of a specific urban spectacle that remains largely unvaried in terms of race, gender, or identity.
