Happy Customers

The destination is still miles away. The TV is on. But everyone's fast asleep on the catamaran! It seems that everyone who made a day trip to Payar Island, Langkawi, for snorkelling and some fun in the sun is returning home happy and contented, and just a tad exhausted! Sweet dreams!

This is a very incongruous image, Celia. That guy is wonderful -- the mouth open, dead to the world. The young women sleeping behind him at least are sparing us the snores, right? The empty seats add a context of loneliness to the image as well. The TV is not being seen or heard, those seats are not occupied, and everything else in this image is unconscious. It is a surreal photograph, a comment on our leisure-time society. By turning it into black and white, it becomes abstract, and more symbolic. The fancy boat and its oblivious passengers are an incongruity. And exhaustion and indifference are human values we all can relate to.
