Photographic Expression

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.).
