The cars represent the two opposing forces on which Rahim Khan and Baba's friendship is built upon. Rahim Khan is painted as the lighter of the two, with mellower personality traits and a more mature personality. Baba is the dark side, as he is a man of brute force and more hard set beliefs. This is represented by the black and white car. They are very different and take alternative routes to solve the same issues. For example, Baba's relationship with Amir is very business-like, while Rahim Khan is much more caring and loving. This is represented by the fact they are parked oppositely. However, they still hold similar traits. They are best friends who grew up together and were forged from the same stone. That is why they are both cars, as while they may have their differences, they still fight for the same ideas.
I like how you chose to explore the relationship between Baba and Rahim Khan, and the photo you took is really thoughtful for what you were trying to portray. When I first saw this photo, I thought of Amir and Hassan as well, and how different both of them are. The light/shadows can also represent the good and bad of the relationship, but because there is a blend, the relationship is able to function.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever photograph that so accurately describes Baba and Rahim Khan. It is clear and simple, but also shows so much deeper meaning that you explain very well in your paragraph.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed how you used colors to describe the difference of personality between the two cars (Rahim Khan and Babba)
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the picture and your character analysis of its meaning.
