While it’s a tragedy to think of the embodied Congolese child mining labour that went into producing this image, we must stop and ask ourselves - isn’t this exactly what those 7yos sacrificed themselves for, wouldn’t they be glad to see this progress in the world which they have been instrumental in achieving?
Of course it’s hypothetical. I’m not advocating that anyone actually go to the Congo to show those child labourers this image - what, in this economy??
It’s really cool that we burnt down a whole acre in the Amazon to see this beautiful image.
