WOMEN HAVE A MUCH HARDER TIME THAN MAN WHEN THEY ARE HUNGRY OR HOMELESS. THEY VICTIMIZED BY MEN IN HER SITUATION. THEY'RE AFRAID TO GO TO SHELTERS. AND OFTEN, THEIR MIND IS DULLED BY THEIR LIFE STYLE. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I SAW THIS VERY BENT OVER OLD LADY ("BAG LADY") FORAGING IN A TRASH CAN. I FELT MOVED TO OFFER A MONEY, BUT WHEN I APPROACHED HER, SHE RUN SCREAMING WITH FEAR. OF COURSE, EVERYONE ON THE STREET LOOKED FOR A SECOND, THEN WENT ABOUT THEIR LIFE. I WAS SHAKING MY THE INCIDENT, BUT I ALSO WENT ON MY WAY. ALTHOUGH, I WILL NEVER FORGET AND THINK THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CARED FOR IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL AND GIVEN MEDICATION. ANYWAY GREAT WORK.
Poignant and moving. I look into her eyes and see the dispair and the helplessness she feels. You are a truly diverse artist with a talent that allows exploration of many levels of the human condition. Excellent work..as always.
