AGENT ORANGE – Ed Kashi
My eyes were drawn
to the contrasting colours (blue walls and orange-toned skin). Almost suddenly,
I feel like my eyes are centered in on her eyes. This is because of the shadows
covering the rest of her face only allowing her eyes to be illuminated. At first glance, the photograph makes me feel
very sorry for the girl in the photo because of her genetic defects. However,
as I look at it more, I feel like she and her peers have grown used to her
appearance because it seems as though she behaves and feels like any other
normal girl (dressing in normal clothing). I think that if the photographer
chose to include other girls (without genetic defects) it would clearly show
that she is different from the rest. However, by isolating her it is not as
clear because there is no one else to be compared to.
