EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a British Caribbean woman stands alone at the counter of a bustling jewellery shop in Hong Kong, lost in thought as she examines a piece of jewellery. The year is 1980, and the vibrant energy of the city is palpable in the background, with a Chinese woman wielding a mop at the back of the image and a man in a blue shirt visible to the far left, engrossed in conversation with another customer. The jewellery shop, adorned with white-framed glass display cabinets, exudes an air of sophistication and allure. The woman's expression is one of contemplation, as if she is weighing the value and significance of the item in her hands. Her elegant attire and poised posture contrast sharply with the chaotic scene unfolding behind her, highlighting the serene calm that often accompanies the pursuit of beauty and self-indulgence. The photograph captures a moment of quiet reflection amidst the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong's bustling streets. It speaks to the universal human experience of seeking out beauty and joy in the midst of the everyday, and the sense of wonder and excitement that comes with discovering new places and cultures. The British Caribbean woman's presence in this Chinese shop serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of diversity and interconnectedness that defines our global community. This photograph, taken in 1980, offers a glimpse into a bygone era of travel and exploration, when the world seemed a little smaller and the possibilities seemed endless. It invites us to reflect on the power of personal connections and the beauty of the unexpected discoveries that can be made in the most unexpected places.
