Ok, I'll rephrase; where did you find this picture (i.e. context) and why you feel it's worthy of sharing beyond the strikingly obvious (tits and youth, so what?). Maybe I'm missing something but this is the first post I've seen from you that's unusually bland for once...
I don't want to spend my time explaining myself. I'm gonna say this short and in general. Understanding any media is a science in itself, and could be topic alone in SIF. How one position oneself and experience images and media in general is subjective, but also founded in issues relating to psychology, culture, politics, economy, history, plus- all as one context. Aside from being just a picture, an image is also an extension- a representation- of society and fields herein. On a daily basis one is surrounded by information. Text, visuals, sounds, smell, etc. The information we perceive has its own theme, function, agenda, forms, mechanics. If one reflects on own life, position and society opposed to what we are presented, one can begin to understand and consciously utilize any media as a tool of influence. Failing to do so and thinking any media as separate from ourselves and the world we exist in renders oneself as a part of the flock. Nothing in professional artistic activity- commercial or not- is random. As for this post, think of it as a grave and humoristic comment- with shift in viewpoint.
