Description:  

The painting depicts a stark contrast between the rich and the poor in a modern city. The boy and his sister are ragpickers, who collect and sell waste materials for a living. The cart is not only their source of income but may also be their shelter and their bed. The background shows a towering skyscraper, a symbol of the economic growth and development that has left behind the poor and marginalized. It is also a reminder of the inequality and injustice that pervades Filipino society.
