a Diptych

Chillies (Noxolo Zwane) emailed me some images today, with a short simple BLURB...

"Felt inspired on my way back from NN. Hope it inspires some1."
  I chose to publish only these two.
WHY? Because I see a strong connection between them.
Placing two images next to each other is called a Diptych.

  When you see images side by side you tend to make associations or observe contrasts and make a story from the relationship between the two_ they inform or speak to each other/against each other. 
I am curious... what story do you see?

  3. they bring a sense of sorrow and they might touch ones soul until one should feel a change within them self.due to the fact that these shots are both in black and white gives the viewer an understanding of what is going on.simply I would say they depict poverty amongst people who live in remote areas

  5. I see a great famine which can be seen on the bottom picture with the color grey/ black n white,indicating dry weather conditions that cause difficulty in growing of crops. the clouds are showing change which gives hope for the child as it looks as the rain is coming to wash away the struggles, the poverty and a starting of a new beggining.

  6. I can say there is a connection because there is a storm coming and the hand is trying to reach out its like the hand is pulling the storm.
