Leeuwarden II # 5: Two Worlds, One Mankind
Posted by Illuci (Hurdegaryp, Netherlands) on 8 February 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
The shirt is nearer to the body than the coat
Dutch proverb, meaning: one's interests and motivation are directed to what's closest to one.
The serendipity element: I wanted to make an overview of the trainstation, unaware of the specific impact of the poster with the African child. On the pc I discovered that the picture got a much heavier loading and meaning, attracting all attention to the contrasting image on the poster, which was an unexpected effect overshadowing the architectural elements and station-atmosphere.
To read the text on the poster it's recommended to switch the image size on large.
