Bangkok in crisis

this is the picture of the current flood situation in Thailand ( particularly for this picture- around Bangkok area). As you can see the water level is very high and the water is dirty. the criticalness of the crisis connotes the ill management of the involving anministrations. However, there is another alternative interpretation which is the relationship between the mother/ child and their surrounding. that is, there is a sense of maternal love and protection in the woman gesture of holdong the child closely to her brest and showing anxious/panic facial expression. the child is white and white connotes innocence and pure. Perhaps, she is too young to be exposed in the harsh Bankok sunlight, while the older woman's skin is more tan which insinuate the attribute of experienced. Thus it is her duty to save the child from drowning. Their affectionate posture also hints that they are mother and daughter. Interestingly, the water that surrounding them can be juxtaposed with the 'monsterous ficture' which threatening the innocent mother/child. Look in this light, mother/chlid often been associated with gentleness, submissiveness and goodness. whereas, the waves that created by their movement could be perceived as the dangerous serpants, since in reality when there is a critical flood siuation, these animals are quite prevalent.
