"We made the following analysis: in this culture, there are only white boys and girls. And the boys are at the front and the girls at the back. And the use of colours as well. There are some colours... it's not very clear here, but you can see that blue is not for everyone; and the other colours are... or bright, for the girls. And... only children, right? And they are in this fantasy... right? There, it's an illustration of a fantasy, isn't it? Dreaming... because of the moon, the little stars... and we even have the figure... westernising. It's not clear what the space is... there are no trees. I think that's basically it."

Does this representation reflects the relations of social leaderships between man and woman?

Should the western fantasies be represented everywhere?

Which dreams are this image giving?

Who do you want to be?
