Mumbai India

separation


I don’t like being all by myself.
But I wonder – how can I be alone or
lonely when I'm surrounded by people?

It can feel so lonely when one is isolated from a group. Like the others here I'm intrigued by the statements of material wealth, but it's interesting how children use possesions as play things and objects of discussion, and when alone use them for comfort.

Such a contrast between the previous image and this one. Strandardized dreams of beauty. Will one day men from India fantasise on the black woman on the right or the latin girl on the right or the "Caucasian" on the back? A touch of western (american) politically correct with diverstity of races shown on the same image (in harmony of course), but used in India exactly as if it was used "home". This is so gross. And the worst part of it is that it works! Thanks for this testimony, Ai Li!

Great comment below; I have to agree fully with JS Waters. I find it amazing, and sickening, the way the beauty industry markets itself around the world.

An excellent sociological study.

I agree - a nice juxtaposition. Two and a half worlds are shown here!

The social commentary here is priceless, Ai Li. The poor thing on the right is excluded from the little clique of glamour girls - shall we say she's not the ideal of what a pretty little girl is? Against the backdrop of ultra chic models - the perpetuation continues.
