In today's fast paced world, people all over the world feel a constant need to display worth in order to attain affection, accomplishment, or pursue a certain sense of well-being. In the end, we can all attain, what most of us deny we do not need. Which happens to be "Acceptance in Society". Each of us believes that we have a will, strong enough to change everything. After all, we're humans. Humans who invented the wheel, Humans who built buildings that stretch high up into the sky, Humans, who will stop at nothing, to survive. Humans, who wonder after all this while on earth, what are we actually doing?
Things were much far simpler in the past. A farmer planted potatoes and watered them daily so he could feed his family and his wife would care for their family. When the time came for his children to take over the responsibility, he would know that his family would be in good hands. But in this life of Ferragamos and Ferraris, WE, hope to have good jobs, attain material wealth, and in the end, we hope after all we've done, is finally to be accepted as an individual. Like 6 billion other smug apes on the earth that think that they stand out just because they bought that latest season's handbag before you did.
Along the way of our lives, we've been too caught up with everything else which side tracked us from what we once thought was truly important, like our values as human beings. To live life with much less complications, one would be able to see much clearer. The buildings you live in, the beauty products you've used and all that fast cars you've own, won't get you a truly blissful ending.
Sometimes, we should take a step back. And I hope this set of photographs will help to strip down everything into its once basic elements.
