About Work

Do a Good Deed a Day (2007) describes the female dwarf twin scouts who carry an injured and fat woman on a stretcher. Facing the camera, these three women smile kindly and friendly. Such a situation seems true but paradoxical because it causes people to doubt whether the dwarf twin scouts could carry that fat woman on the stretcher. This picture may also make the audience question whether their smiles were sincere or just stereotypical. Is this the usual stereotype of the scouts whose image not only symbolizes justice and innocence, but also is exploited by politicians?
