This piece in it's setting speaks to how dangerous it is being in Afghanistan. Against a background of barbed wire, military buildings, sand, and helicopters, it stands as a warning to new entries and memorial to those who have died in this dangerous pursuit. The cross in it's self is beautifully made. Here's hoping that one day, they will all get to come home.
Beautiful and poignant.
ReplyDeleteThere is something doubly upsetting about such a creative artist being involved in a war situation.
That is really something. It is sad and beautiful at the same time.
