Review from The Washington Post

“Susan Rubin produces work that marries artistic sensuality with an educational, yet sharp social commentary much needed in our racially obsessed nation. Her work depicts a diverse collection of interracial couples and eloquently captures profound intimacy. The commitment to love, so authentically presented in her photographs, becomes a victory over hatred and fear.

Rubin also has a magnificent feeling for shape and movement of the human body. One is left with an almost ethereal feeling, as if the couples had been participating in a holy ceremony. Rubin has created powerful work and delivered an important show for our time.”
