Artist's Comments

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
//Tears for Fears - Mad World



















No child in the world should ever have to be this serious.

Daily Deviation, 2007-12-21

Daily DeviationMad World by *Harlequinesque84. The suggester writes: "I think it's got both great emotional impact as well as social and political commentary." I agree with that, and the deviation comments that "No child should ever be this serious.." You can feel the sadness in her eyes. (Suggested by ~erinightwind and Featured by `Obsidian-Fox)

Just look at those eyes. Brilliant photo, I love how the boy's hand behind him lines up.

Yes I know, I´ll never forget the kids I met at that center...so many of them, their parents are dead from Aids and they have HIV themselves.

Thank you very much!!

Yes it kinda works, right? The hand I mean...but the child in the front is actually a girl, they often shave the childrens heads in the temples during Diwali (a couple of weeks before the picture) as some religious rite.
That is actually a common way to get HIV, because they use the same knife on many people..
I guess that´s why she looks like a boy =)

She is beautiful. So expressive eyes. And the hand just makes the situation I see even stronger. Brilliant work.

How do I know if it becomes a daily deviation?

I believe they let you know. I'm not sure how the actual process goes.
