The motorbike has changed Vietnam. They have become inexpensive enough to allow almost anyone who wants one to drive one. There are very few private cars in Vietnam, and these motorized bikes are rapidly replacing the ones powered by pedals. The streets of every city and town are over flowing with hundreds of thousands of these mechanized bikes. And when the motorbikes are not jamming the streets, they fill the sidewalks. There are few, if any, no-parking signs in Vietnam. Mobility is a human value. So is immobility. In this image we see symbols of both. The child is too young to drive, yet her life is already defined and circumscribed by the mass of parked machines that wall her off from friends and family. Mechanization is another human value, and it is rapidly becoming the dominant factor in daily life in Vietnam.
