オバマ前大統領政権で、ホワイトハウスの専属写真家だったピート・ソウザ氏が、Instagramにこんな写真を投稿した。
写真にうつっているのは、4人分の足。男性用のスーツと靴は、オバマ前大統領だろう。残りの3人は、スカートとハイヒールを身につけている。
そして、キャプションにはこんな思わせぶりなメッセージが。
「オバマ時代のホワイトハウスにて：最高の助言者たちとのミーティング。これで一枚の作品です。この写真に、何かメッセージが込められている、と思った人もいるかもしれませんね」
Instagramのコメントには「わかった！！いいね」「理解したよ」「ピートの写真はいつも笑顔にしてくれる。そして考えさせてくれる」といった言葉が並んでいる。
ソウザ氏のメッセージ、あなたはどう受け取りましたか？
