Afghanistan

Afghanistan

Northern Summer, 2003.

In Search of Peace

 

The Ancient Silk Road
Lonely, isolated, remote, unknown
Mysterious, Biblical / Qur'anical,
Majestical and infamous

Caravans, journeying
Barren, desolate, treeless

Villages, destroyed
Abandoned, raped
The vetting of anger
The release of emotion

Life and death
Eden long gone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kabul - city of rubble
Chaos, resentment, jealousy
Broken hearts, hidden secrets
Buried alive

Anger, pain, tears, grief
Killed, destroyed
, abandoned

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following photos are of charcoal drawings done by the victims of Afghanistan's wars. They were imprisoned and tortured in the basement of a building in southern Kabul. Shortly after these images were filmed the walls were painted to hide the evidence of genocide. History whitewashed.
