This Reuters photo struck me in particular. The renunciation and submission to their own living conditions of these two little girls who work in an Indian dyeworks is disarming. In these countries the working conditions of minors are still the same as those that existed in the West over a hundred years ago. Yet it is here that the wealth and well-being that we enjoy is produced.
Heavy rains have displaced thousands in northeastern Assam state, with no letup in the deluge. Many people have moved to makeshift camps set up by authorities on higher ground [Reuters]
In this painting I partially learned how to drape a fabric (of which the maestro Fontanini is an excellent author) furthermore I tried to represent an intense and bright environment under a light rain that weighs down the clothes of the two subjects and fabrics hanging from the ropes after the dyeing process.
