A series of powerful images, taken before and after the death of each subject. The images are striking, but what I found most moving and upseting were the stories that accompanied them. Some had accepted their fate while others rallied against it.
“Death is nothing,” says Maria. “I embrace death. It is not eternal. Afterwards, when we meet God, we become beautiful.” Maria Hai-Anh Tuyet Cao, 52
“Get me out of here”, she whispered as soon as anyone held her hand. “My heart will stop beating if I stay here. This is an emergency! I don’t want to die!” Elly Genthe, 83

Moving indeed.
It reminds of S21 in Cambodia. S21 is an old school where a lot of the killings happened during the genocide in the 80s. There’s walls with mug shots that were taken before people were executed.
Thank you for this Donncha. It helped me somewhat with things and stuff.
Very beautiful!!
