Very powerful photo, well taken... I like the dull tones with the slight green shades. It's symbolism is strong, yet ironic also in a way- masks once intended to save lives now strewn like ghostly faces.

This is very striking and powerful.
The whole arrangement is sorrowful, but it retains an air of beauty about it.

Thanks - my aim exactly.
That very phrase was what I felt the entire time I was in that country. So much sorrow, but so much beauty.
The people are amazingly resilient.
