Dichotomy

I was looking for themes for the matchbook subjects. The Soviets 3 for example. It turns out that disparate characters are much more interesting to think about ( for me anyhow). The three pairs pictured above are all two people who were alive at the same time, in part at least. I enjoy how this highlights very different worlds that coexist. For example the Mad Monk Rasputin was in action the same time as Walt Disney. How very different their experience must have been. The same for the Garbogahndi piece, Greta was intriguing thousands or millions of people on the silver screen Mohandas was doing his thing in India. Despite the fact that any of these pair's lives overlapped by decades they could hardly be said to be living in the same worlds, how can the experiences of Emily Dickinson ever be those of Fredrick Douglas.
Maybe that can be said to be true for any two people, however we then have to ask ourselves what makes two people's lives the same or akin. So as this post is titled, this all seems to be a lens on the dichotomies of the world, same time, same planet but different worlds.
