Shortlist for Under 18 - Male
Photographer: Christoffer Aguilar
Title: Eat
Comments:
This photograph represents the right of food and the scarcity of food throughout many third world countries. The cheese rings would be a luxury to children who have experienced famine, but two rings are falling out, representing how we take food for granted and over eat. It is a tiny Tupperware container symbolising a boat, refugees from war town and poor countries. It is placed in a dark background to reflect on the danger around those countries and flash is barely seen to give a flicker of hope.
