A great ponderance lo..and so true..I also wonder about the people I met in India when I went to visit my husbands family..Different cultures different ways of life. It is so hard to think of their lives in terms of our own. That said...this is wonderfully put together..the colors convey a somber tone and I love that! This is well done!
My husband took this photo while serving in Afghanistan.
Journaling:
Who is she? I imagine she is someone's daughter, someone's wife, someone's mother... I don't know for sure. I do know that she sold toilet paper beside the kabob stand. She would not speak to men outside of her family, so I don't know if she spoke English. I imagine that she still wore the berka because that is what she was taught to do. Does she want to shed this second skin that hides her from the world? Or is she happy because it is a part of her? How has her life changed since the war? Does she find it harder to meet her day to day needs? Or is it better? Did she choose to vote in the first election? Was she allowed to vote in the first election? Or was she kept away by her male family members? Sadly, I will never know.

(I got the idea to layer the photo from Starla - moon16 on another site)
