This could have been mine!
We actually got the word jacuzzi. We first thought of jacuzzi as a luxury. Something not everyone can afford. So, I thought of Africans who are normally portrayed as poor. Our initial idea is to put a rich woman into a jacuzzi of diamonds with hungry and poor looking africans staring from outside. But Jing mentioned it is too direct. Provocative statements are not made to be direct. So she suggested us to put a poor african in the jacuzzi instead. Therefore we came out with this statement: This could have been mine! Because diamond company like DeBeers has been getting diamonds from Africa but selling them rich countries. Have we ever thought that these diamonds could have been the African's because they are from their country. Why are we stealing their diamonds and why are they so poor despite having diamonds in their country.
Hopefully this is provocative enough!
Ayway, I must praise Luo Lan for her Photoshop skill!
