NIAGARA both reinforces and undermines modern myths, focusing on true love, sexuality and the promise of “happily ever after.” Throughout NIAGARA Soth emphasizes various motifs associated with romance, ranging from newlywed bliss to heart-broken agony, the innocent and sacred to the perverse. His subjects include coupled nudes, individual and familial portraits, hand-written letters, motels and other staples of love and love lost in all its manifestations.
