Brother and sister – Photographic Expression

Case Studies: Thailand

Sisters / Brothers

Brothers and sisters represented the opposite of violence. This photo of a brother and a sister was chosen as the one expressing this effect most clearly. The choice which both girls and boys in this respect is impressive, since the photo is very intense and sensuous ­ the deeper meaning is not immediately obvious (as opposed to photos of children laughing and playing games together etc.).
