'I Wanna Be Like You' from Ade Castro is an interesting twist on pop culture references through photography. The actual images all depict something random from society, whether that is a scrub brush and mop, or a Barbie.
The photographs are very well done, with a lively outlook while fulfilling its purpose of telling a story. I love the idea of mimicking an inanimate object, as it gives the photograph so much more depth when you realize the true meaning behind the work.
