A Culture in Tatters
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum,Phnom Penh, Cambodia, January 2008


Again, I don't often use other images as my image- but here the detail of the erosion seemed to add a sense of the ripping apart of a culture and of individual lives.

You found the tears (both the kind that rend and the kind that are shed) of Cambodia's past in this grim image of a prisoner who died in this jail, while I found obliteration in an image hanging a few feet away from this one in the same Toul Sieng prison. (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/91825288 )
