The image is so delicate and beautifully executed in black and white. I love that you paired it with the American hip-hop group, The Black Eyed Peas. I live in Los Angeles where they originated with their original sound and have followed their carrer since their Elephunk which earned them the fame and grammys they so richely deserved. So many songs are censored like "Let's Get Retarded" which many found offensive for the mainstream so it was restyled into Let's get Started and I loved that the song got exposure as an NBA Finals worldwide commercial. This is a hot song since it featured Carl Santata, one of my all time favorite bands. What a diverse group if you play computer games since their song Shut Up as well as other songs in Slimlish is the lialect language used by the Sims characters in the games I play. I could go on about this socially conscious group especially after establishing the Pea Pod Foundation to help suffering children around the world. Since Elephunk is the ablum, I know I am glad you titled your piece "where is the love" which is great question for us to ponder given the lack of this emotion in the world today that instead of love is often dominated by greed and evil motives. Again your imagery is metaphoric and knowing about the group and their contribution to human suffering giving their love through the Peapod Foundation reinforces the heart of your elegant image.
