On the Fifth Anniversary

The Trinity of Mother, Child and Padlock.

Today marks the fifth year of the Arab Spring and thus the countdown to the fifth year of Assad slaughtering his own countrymen. The padlock denotes action taken by way of securing that nothing has been done. Madaya is but one instance.

The screaming sickness of the yellow and the silence of the sharp angle to her chin evince the desperation.
