Opening a door..

Yes, divergence of my own mind is what I feel and think first when looking at this composition. Then I specifically
notice the two women smiling, I wonder why. Looking closer I think they like where they are. My eyes turn to the left picture: a wheelchair and tennis. How did she train to get there. How do you teach her to tennis in a wheelchair apart from the physical understanding I wonder what motivation she has internally or needed to be given for her to be smiling while playing tennis in a wheelchair. Than I realize the woman on the right, uhm the composer of this picture must have had the idea to use two extremes that after contemplation are more alike than you can see in a split second if you tend to be prejudice. Well it's must mean that she has a disability below the surface. internal disease, mental disability, blind/deaf, no I don't think see is blind. But she is not doing anything, apart of looking very nice in very little. So more guessing, but more difficult to be engaged.
