I think she's thinking about how she's gonna provide for her children, since she had a lot of them. I think she feels helpless, I think it's hurting her that she doesn't have any food for her children. I wonder if she has any family members that can help her out. I also wonder how her children feels like, if the oldest of them all helps the mother with finding food, or finding a job. Here's some details from the picture that can help my idea about it. You can tell by the mothers face that there's something wrong. And how her kids are hiding there faces make me wonder how scared they must be or how they might feel about this whole thing. One day they have food and another they don't. Wow ,that just tells you how precious life is. And that's what I think about this picture.
This is a very thoughtful and insightful post. It really made me take another look at the photograph. I feel very melancholy when I look at it and you helped me notice some things I hadn't noticed before. Good job.
