This is a simple photoshoped image addressing Child Labor in India. It's actually my assignment work for digital studies. I black-and-white the kid, but keep the color of the workplace. Child Labor is a serious issue in India. The main cause of it is because of poor financial situation. India focus so much on education that it gives people the idea of only the high educated one will have the chance to be somebody. The ironic thing is that only wealthy family can afford the education expense. Those kids therefore choose to work instead of to study because this is the only way to support the whole family.
I chose high-key value of color with both of the words Dream and Survival to address the importance and the seriousness of the issue. The focus of the picture is on the kid's eye which blurs out the surrounding. I use the effect to show the effect of the kid seeing everything as blurred and unknown, but only future and survival as his task of life.
