i know that this is a girl and her mother, but for some reason, when i look at it, i feel like they are the same person. like, the girl in the black is perhaps the darker side of the girl, and the one in white, is the more innocent side. not necessarily good and evil, but something like it. and "seperation anxiety" means something like, the fact that there is no good without evil, nor is there evil without good. you know like, if everything was wonderful all the time, we would never know what wonderful really was. and although the two cannot exist apart, it seems like the girl in black is trying to forget the girl in white, like someone's conscience or something. it's hard to type this out, and i'm pretty sure it's not even what you intended with this photo, but i think it's cool that everyone is getting something different from just one picture.

As a parent myself this photo is emotionally charged and hard hitting. Seperation anxiety generally runs high with a young child learning to seperate themselves from the parent. Here it is pictured in a young girl on the cusp of adulthood. Her expression is a pained stance. She will and wants to strike out on her own path and own identity yet -- she still yearns for the comfort and loving arms of her mother. The mother is the woman in white and she is receding into the background as this young girl, her daughter, moves forward into the realm of adulthood - a path that will establish her own identity separate and apart from that of her mother. Interesting on the choice of colors: the daughter wears black and the mother wears white. The symbology reaches not into it meaning good & evil or good & bad, or even innocence & experience but that of a seperation of two distinct beings that in order for the natural cyle of life to continue must travel on seperate paths. It represents a parting of ways (although not forever it just means that the offspring will now have the strength and ability to operate and stand on their own without constant parental protection). The presentation of all the elements and the emotions is just wonderful.

I'm overwhelmed by this picture. It's so emotional. The girl in black is sitting there saying, "If she likes me, she'll turn around. Otherwise, she hates me. I can't bear to be without her, but if I have to turn around, I won't be able to bear being with her." Chances are the girl is white is saying the same thing. Oh the pain! Maybe I'm putting to much of my own life into what appears to be a very personal piece for you, but that's what I get out of it. It's an excellent photograph. I'm adding it to my favorites.
