There is so much suffereing in the world, and yet beauty in the face of this. Looking at photographs of an Iraqi family terrified as American soldiers searched their house, another of a suspected terrorist with a tag duct taped to his head describing his "offense", others of American soldiers burned to disfigurement, missing limbs, staring through bullet ridden glass (bullets which found homes in eight of his compatriots), i flet deep anger at my country for causing this suffering unnecessarily- why? Looking at pictures of the George Busch election, which reflected a white well dressed aspect of America, that most well known, i felt shame. We, as a country chose him. It was in the end the pictures from the Tsunami aftermath that affected me the most. I felt in a way that couldn't at the time of the disaster. So much loss. I thought of Whitney, my most tender hearted friend, and understand her fervent need to do something in the days following the new reports of the Tsunami. We were very fortunate to see this exhibit, as it was amazing, and as it was only in the U.S. for a very brief time in New York. Check out the photos here:
