9 December ~ A beautiful, lyrical badge. The story behind the image is as follows: Russel, a Bangladeshi boy of lowly stock, is given by his parents (father is a woodsman, mother a soap sculptor) a name so tedious it marginalises him in village society. One day, as he is wandering around the alluvial plan that makes up a large part of Bangladesh's surface area, he spies a beautiful dove struggling to free itself from some plastic packaging, a by-product of the Coca-Cola corporation's global imperialism.
