This new job opportunity as a clown is one of the effects of the pandemic, because many companies went bankrupt, so most of their former employees became clowns at traffic lights to entertain the public and make money.
Mostly clowns represent a source of happiness for children or those around them, but I think clowns have a problem. In other words, they are depressed and hiding behind their masks. Like it or not, they have to appear happy in front of many people.
The reason why I take pictures of clowns who look so sad is because I want people to know that not only are they unemployed, but they actually have to do the job because not all companies want them to work there. Also, I want others to see that everyone has their own problems behind their smile or laugh
