Shattered hand, Cuenca cemetery, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

The detail tells the story here – one of the hands on this marble tomb monument been broken by either time or vandals, yet what remains of it is still locked in a grieving embrace with its counterpart. One of its fingers has been broken in half. Another finger has been re-attached. The softly focused face of the figure reflects the sad tone of the image in the background.

It was the broken hand that drew my eye, Jude. The marble has also lost its luster, and is now etched with grime. The damaged grieving figure seems to be mourning the very passage of time itself.
