This photo of five girls eating sushi has
just won the @nationalportraitgallery's Taylor Wessing prize 2015.
“I have always had a fascination with the way
people interact", explains David Stewart, who took this photo. "While
the girls are physically very close and their style and clothing highlight
their membership of the same peer group, there is an element of distance
between them.”
David Stewart mentions an element of distance
between this four girls but he doesn’t impart which element to us. My opinion
is that this mysterious element is their history.
Our lives are like close books which the
others just can see the title, our name. People think they know someone just
for talking with her or him or worst, knowing her name. The majority of societies
believe that we can know the life of someone with social media. Here we can talk about appearance. Everybody
have a false outward look so with social media people show you just what they
want to show you.
This photography is merely the front cover of
the book of these five girls. We don’t know their story, their past, present
and future feelings, bad or happy moments they will shape. We see an image that
it doesn’t always reflect the reality. I think we must be careful with appearances.
