I reckon this shot she be retitled 'Christmas Blend' . . this is both to reflect the Starbucks she is holding, and to reflect the whole scene taking place around her that shows the 'Christmas 'blend' we all face .
The faces behind the girl could represent a band of Angels giving the simple story of Christmas, a message of hope for the world away from the urgency and demands of everyday life - a higher vision and motive to aspire to, away from that which is here today - and gone tomorrow. While the manequin in the green dress (green in this case representing envy) appears to be showing her a sack of beautifully wrapped shiny presents - standing slightly aloof, suggesting the girl has to choose to go over to her if she wants to - while the girl herself stares out of shot, looking lost in thought and possibly slightly vexed, as if not knowing which way to go . . and trying to turn her back on both options.
Many people seem to find themselves in her position each Christmas . .
Oh! Very nice find! There's just sooo much to look at! I think the presents are from the mannequin to the happy, happy people. The girl with the coffee is really pissed about that.
Yes...fantasy vs reality. The faces in the window, so golden happy glowing; the human, rather blue cool stressed (her posture says stressed to me). Very cool!
This is certainly multi-faceted in what it says to me, Deb- The girl in the foreground : everyday life
The group in the BG; Fantasy
The mannikin: who knows :)
Interesting combination. You will have to tell us more about it. The faces in the background look serene and happy. The modern girl in the foreground looks like she has some things on her mind.
