Sweet looking humble girl. The makeup, and her cap and designer's clothing tagged nicely with sponsors tailored fitted to boot up her petite self into a vivacious, sweet looking and attractively lively girl. Her clothing fits well in a background of
greenery.
The top comment of the photo series:
"Wait, why are they objectifying a female athlete like this? I thought this to be wrong according to progressives? such a double standard they set"
remind me "Kafka on the Shore" in which the author Murakami quoted Hegel.

"Colonel Sanders, one of the characters, is the image of American KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), but not the colonel himself. He likes to say that he is a concept, an idea; he is the one who arranges a prostitute for Hoshino, who is accompanying Nakata in
his quest. It happens that the prostitute studies philosophy and, in a very unusual situation, during the intercourse, explains Hegel to him:
Hegel believed that a person is not merely conscious of self and object as separate entities, but through the projection of the self via the mediation of the object is volitionally able to gain a deeper understanding of the self. All of which constitute
self- consciousness (Murakami, 2005, p. 254).
Building identity requires self-consciousness, and the ‘other’ is part of the process. Sometimes there is a sudden revelation, a satori, that makes a difference in it[9]. As the Colonel says, “[…] a revelation leaps over the borders of the
everyday. A life without revelation is not a life at all. What you need to do is move from reason that observes to reason that acts” (Murakami, 2005, p. 255). Nakata (whose first name is Satoru, by the way) and Tamura Kafka are both seeking something
they do not really understand, willing to find some revelation. It is an exercise of experiencing what this being-in-the-world is. It is shaped in the individual but resonates in the collective."
