This one is sort of funny. Two lovers eat strawberries and chocolate, but the brown figure is adorned in a strawberry print dress therefore confusingly she may be eating herself...
This one is sort of funny. Two lovers eat strawberries and chocolate, but the brown figure is adorned in a strawberry print dress therefore confusingly she may be eating herself or rather she is being fed herself. Her white lover (sex unknown) happily feeds her lover back to herself - this might be whiteness dictating its own concept and pushing it on to brown/black people - i.e the shift of Italian and Irish people becoming white. This may just be about submission, the white lover is consuming the brown one but also the brown lover is consuming the white - perhaps being fed a love that only a brown lover understands. It's about confusing consumption of culture with that of love and dating and eating food.
