Whether or not you explicitly made a statement, this photo does in and of itself- which is why you are getting a lot of opinions.

In psychology, Maslow's Pyramid to Self Actualization lists Physiology as the base. Before all else, you need to eat and drink and also have shelter. The next is Safety. After you have the basic necessities of survival, you need to feel Safe and Stable. You need not worry about your next meal. Only then Love, the third and middle of the pyramid is reached. Now that you have taken care of yourself, you have the room, time, and sensibility to care about and for others; You can willingly accept relationships with other people for no defined purpose.

Some disagree with the order of this proposed set-up, but I support it.

and that's fine, I just don't want people to confound their opinion with a simple political or social statement that I haven't made. I don't think that the photography itself makes a clear 'statement'. I think it asks a question.

intense shot - where the printed letters edited in?

:iconsimonsawsunlight:
is that a serious question or is there some sarcasm edited in?

It was serious, and quite void of sarcasm on my end.
