The Pinch of Poverty

1. Unemployment, loss of a breadwinner
2. The daughter is selling flowers to support her mother, who is with child. The poverty is positive in this picture.
3. The artist wants us to know that poverty brings families together and that most poor people don't have dads. Poverty brings people hope.
4. The brightness of the girl's features and flowers show the hope that she has for the future. the children and their mother in one amorphous shape shows their bond that poverty has given them.
