"The Begging Bowl” is a visual parable depicting a peculiar scene. We have an angel, seemingly chastising a young child, both characters androgynous, when in reality the celestial being hovers above the beggar, “calling out” the world as if saying, “your people are at the end of their rope.” The first world is rather unaccustomed to change, which is equally tragic as the pandemic. Let this give strength and convey to folks in the developed world, that this is only a taste of what strife looks like. Granted unlike most suffering, which in the Western World is largely self induced, I see that the bowls for assistance are held high, and rightly so, it is an alien feeling and one that seeks a cure!
