This is a picture I took in an egg farm in Ferrara, Italy. I found it pretty graphic (ie. striking, a little upsetting) to see how many thousands of chickens they cram in such a small space. I also think the repeated anonymity of the chickens reminds me a little of sketched representations of groups of people, where everyone looks kind of the same. - George
