The proportion of the kites is grotesque, the colors are unfortuante. No wonder people still think we go around on donkeys and wear sombreros and take siesta time. Nice idea, poorly done I think it perpetuates the folkloric image of Mexico. The proportion of the kites is grotesque, the colors are unfortuante.

If im honest, i think that means im looking at this and relating the kite shapes more to a group of colourful tree representations but regardless, i like it cause it looks kind of jolly. as soon as i saw and read this post i was immediately drawn to idea of cold air and thought about & wondered if it felt anything like the breeze that you get when your sitting under tree sometimes.
