Daily Craft Sapa I

Description

a 'Black Hmong''s mother is taking up 2 rolls at the same time, taking care of her children and try to sell her handmade jewelries for money. She didn't look too happy about it. I'm sure this kind of 'adopted civilize' way of living wasn't her choice of living.

This was taken at the bottom of the valley where there was a nice waterfalls and a platform the tourists came to rest their feet. A good place to sell jewelries i suppose.

Paragraph 1:
Indeed, commercialism + art all smashed into one piece. As clashing as both worlds collide in this piece, the remarkable story it brings forth somewhat makes this something to ponder on...

Paragraph 2:
Her expression suggests resentment of some kind as what she herself hoped was a work of art would be worthwhile to help support her growing numbers of children. Not knowing that art is, to each, his own, it somehow made me feel like jumping into the scene and crit on her works and maybe even give some marketing and sales pointers.

Paragraph 3:
Details weren't shabbily overblown here even with so many elements as a viewpoint. There's enough depth to show just enough detail to just enough tell a story. But is it enough to help her make her daily sales quota? Hmm...
