In the center of Santa Fe's historic Plaza, the monument to those who fought in the New Mexico's Indian Wars now must be padlocked to protect it from vandalism. Instead of photographing the entire monument, I chose to picture only the parts that carried the most meaning. I moved close enough to stress the contrast between the silver chain and the green fence, making sure to capture individual drops of water -- residue of a recent rain. I am also close enough to depict engraving on the monument which adds context -- it talks of heros who have died fighting Indians. My search for detail also reveals that the original wording has been edited with a chisel. A derogatory reference to those Indians is now gone, but its scar remains. The watery surface of the fence seems to weep -- a sad commentary on a tragic era.
