I see the Awesomeness.
I'm sure we could get an image for this.

Man, if you want a visual pun...

CAPTION TEXT HERE |
A Visual Pun tells me nothing about the trope, especially when the title itself is a tad ambiguous.
Cure Candy
A Crapsack World but the characters are still hopeful in that things can get better hmmm...
Something like the pic on Wide-Eyed Idealist but more extreme.

Without your explanation, it looks like she's scavenging. If it were shown in a non-historical movie, that's exactly what she'd be doing.

Wouldn't a caption clarify it? I don't know, "That city's gonna be rebuilt, brick by brick"? Hmmm...did the city depicted actually get rebuilt? If it did, the Reality Subtext would help get the point across, as long as the caption made that clear.
I have no idea who these people are, much less what it has to do with A World Half Full.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.
