Although I have to disagree to one major point; I do not think there is a feeling of shame when someone gives a gift; it either means a lot to the giver or receiver or maybe a small gesture OR it doesn't mean anything at all (in this case there probably is no feeling at all: maybe only given for social reasons?) If you are referring to "cheap" gifts then there might be a little of shame, some people like to give but cant afford to give much maybe?! What do you think? Now I know this is a campaign, it serves a purpose, and I think your work is absolutely brilliant, but I liked to share my thoughts. :) Nour .-= Nour´s last blog ..<a href="http://nourbishouty.blogspot.com/2009/12/pictures-of-my-wall-at-sunny-art-fair.html" rel="nofollow">Pictures of My Wall at The Sunny Art Fair</a> =-.
