Week 5: Visual vs. Symbolic Language

Separation, confinement, jail, blue-collar, working class, disgust, despair, determination, drive, disbelief, impatience, waiting, hot day, long day, many people, men/masculine, want, hope, poor, sweat, life, struggle, disorganized, crowded, and fear.

Four indian men stand behind wrought iron bars waiting in a crowd on a sunny warm day.  They are all men dressed in most in light-blue button up shirts, light enough to fend off the heat.  None of them are looking at the camera and no one is wearing any jewelry. Each man shows a different emotion. Front and center a man in grey grasps a bar with a hand rough and worked.  He carries a look of determination.  Behind him on the left is a man in a pale blue shirt partly unbuttoned with a look of disbelief.  Right of center stands a man also in pale blue, sun light shining on a face that wears disgust and dispair. And lastly in fron far right is a short man in blue showing hope his teeth in almost cracking a smile.
