Artist's Comments
I made this about a year ago and only posted it now. I don 't know why I made it so damn small :-p Maybe I'll redo it bigger.
I took the photo on the streets of Escolta, Manila. It used to be the center of wealth and society back at the turn of the 1800s. The majestic, old art-deco buildings still stand tall, but abandoned, scarred with graffiti, and slowly crumbling into decay. Homeless folk have occupied the buildings with their families. Their laundry hangs on the window sill, while the street below is strewn with junk and garbage. Naked children roam the streets, eating food they find on the ground. The smell of urine and feces occasionally pervades the air. I saw this woman and her baby and I thought she exuded a certain saintly quality amidst the squalor. Manipulated the lighting and the colors. Here are other deviations I made from photos taken in the same area. [link] [link] [link] |

 reports, 1d 9h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |

A well-captured piece.
Anyhow, the expression on both the mother's and the baby's face is, as the comment above, "Heart-breaking".
I like.
