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!

Hmmm. Do I have to believe in 'souls' first?

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.

Disturbingly appropriate...and dead-on. Thank you, Terry.

I was concerned that it would be too hard-edged. Thanks
