Power of form


This image screams at me every time I see it, I can never fully get it out of my head. It's not sexual, it's not love either, it's connection. I rarely see something that I don't find bluntly creating sexual focus. Since I don't interpret it with that, it connects to me more emotionally. I'm reminded of the power of touching another being and how important it really is. The image has an essence of what beauty the human body possesses. Maybe people don't acknowledge it for what it is as much as media does for what it should be.
The image has a confidence that shows strength and weakness in the two characters and relates to every person in some way. In comparison to the people are the tall buildings clouding what could be a blue sky and all the beauty in nature. However this is not the case and the humanity I find so emotionally stimulating is being blocked with sky scrapers. The people in the picture have removed their cloths but the population is reluctant to remove it's wrappers and create something as beautiful or honoring as nature once did.
I see this and yet another person could interpret is saying the connection between the people is was makes the modern structures alive and if it weren't for the people seeking something functional and strong, the buildings would not have been there and the image would have spoken less to me because it's the strength and yet frailness of the people in reflection to the buildings that is what makes it so visually appealing.
