Great choice for Day of the Dead. Also a comment on how protected we are around death -- it's a performance, an aesthetic statement. Not like too much of the rest of the world, where "trauma" is not a sometime thing and horrible death occurs right before your eyes on a regular basis.
Shocking and disturbing image, pretty at the same time!
Thanks. Yes, only the top one, of course. Do you find its prettiness makes the presentation more or less disturbing?
I don’t really know ... it’s the whole combination that makes this edition pretty!
I'm interested to see what you post for All Souls Day tomorrow...
Hmmm. Do I have to believe in 'souls' first?

Disturbingly appropriate...and dead-on. Thank you, Terry.
I was concerned that it would be too hard-edged. Thanks
