Homelessness Exhibition on Friday, May 18th,2012

According to the  Exhibition " Homelessness has no color, creed or origin, no age or gender, only victims"
This is a very sad fact that everyone should relate to, even if they are not homeless them selves because trying to understand what those individuals go through and feeling their suffering would make others work on helping them and on trying to make the world a better and easier place to live. yet for those who've never experienced poverty it is hard for them to imagine how bad it can get. Consequently,
The pictures on the exhibition were taken by some of the homeless people to have more honesty and truth in them , to be reachable and touching to other people's feelings.
there were lots of  interesting and important points , but here are the ones that attracted me the most :
- It caught my attention how faces can be so expressing and how those face expressions sometimes are better than the words spoken during such tragic times.
- as mentioned before homelessness has victims but even worse that the True victims are mostly children because they are the ones suffer the most.
- I was also impressed by how strong those homeless people were, and how they are always positive and looking at the bright side, and always having hope and faith, as one of them said " you always have some power to make dreams come true, as long as you believe"





Some of my favorite points:

- Some pictures were taking in Black and white as those two colors can match a homeless' feelings.
- How homelessness was described as being trapped inside and looking outside towards the rest of the world.

  1. Sarah,

    I find it very interesting that you noticed the color contrast presented at the exhibition. It is quite fascinating to see that while the word "homeless: describes a person with limited to no access to the basic necessities of life; their pictures are taken in this contrast showing the hopefulness of the children. They look outside of the box because they have hope of improving their life. Their hope is not any different than our hopes--the hopes of what you may call "fortunate" people; those with access to the basic necessity of life. We also hope each day of our life to improve ourselves and be better human beings; for some this means eating healthy food, and for others it may include community service.

    You picked up on several key ideas. I really enjoyed reading your post. Thank you.
