Shattered

Greetings,

This Chinese artist does the dead. People bring him pictures of their loved ones and he captures their image using pencil. It is placed in family shrines to honor their ancestors.

As the images of heroic rescues and the grim reality of lost children flood the world, I am reminded of the artist, his work and all the children I knew in China.

May they rest in peace. May their parents and ancestors welcome them in their long silence, their memory.

Peace.
