human proximity~ Yiche people~ Yunnan
When a child is sick or unwell, the only thing it craves is the warm touch of a parent or family member. We are creatures that thrive on warmth and human contact makes us tingle. This fact begs the question: what will be come of us when our lives become more and more digital and virtual and will Siri’s calm cold voice be enough to serenade a child to sleep?
In Yunnan I only saw children attached to family members while they walked, worked, cooked and these children were strong, confident and loved. I will take a hug over a text message any day.
Wonderful kid! I’d have tried to give the mom more space in the picture, but maybe the framing is on purpose to focus on the child.
His eyes!! Beautiful! And beautifully taken!
Thanks Fred!
I love the drama!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
