“By The Victors” is a political cartoon of a young artist growing up in a historic city and witnessing many of her childhood buildings and businesses replaced with expensive condominiums and high-rise corporate buildings. She is searching for the lost history of her city within the ruins of its gentrification. The top half is the bustling city with beautiful skyscrapers and “History is written” in gold leaf painted letters while the bottom-half is the dreary underground burial of many historic buildings and businesses that met their end in the booming era of the city with a comic book satire of “...by the victors” in the bottom corner. It is a reminder that the buildings and businesses that make a burrough of a city attractive are not safe from the people that are attracted to the area.
