Painting
The Morning Sun painting by Edward Hopper shows a women in a sitting position on her bed facing towards her bedroom window. The bedroom window's vertical blind is open through which natural light enters into the bedroom scene.
As shown in the building outside the window the scene is in a city context. We get the feeling of enclosure within the women's mind. There are two level's of enclosure within this painting. In the mind of the women in the painting, there are two enclosure's that she will awake to everytime the morning sun rises; the enclosure of her context and the enclosure of her small room.
The women's facial expression indicates the feeling of loneliness as a result of the city life. She will ever be enclosed from nature. The morning sun is not a feeling of hope rather or hapiness as we can see from her facial expression. Rather the morning sun is the reality that she will never be able to escape her context maybe due to the fact she cannot financially. Her only natural escape is the glimpses of the morning sun.

Mashup
A recent list of China's richest people, is a billion yuan wealthier by the afternoon. But one thing's for sure – it’s not Steve Jobs. Reports of massive wealth were printed in morning newspapers yesterday and before markets closed that afternoon. I don't think they got their money's worth. However, their low profile has helped them remain largely unknown over the past years by defying financial hardships, cheating business partners and intimidation from local mafia to build up wealth. It's a well-worn routine, but it builds excitement and suspense which has come to stand for everything noble and self-sacrificing, a reminder that everything we do (like breathe) is hastening the destruction of the planet. If that sounds over the top, the sneak preview of Leopard was underwhelming. Not that hot pink is any better: what a few years ago looked daring, a brash brush stroke of lipstick feminism, is now just another iPod color but for many of them, this is the only chance they get to see their hero in the flesh. “It gives a sense of security, of luxury, or being treated well as top secret things which Ms. Versace isn’t eager to give up other indulgences while she can afford them. “If I could, I would have them all,” she said with a staged cackle.
