Young Fathers VS Scottish National Portrait Gallery

This tells so much... in such a intense form and capture of time, space, voice.
Made me shiver. Could share it a million times.

Life, history, life after death and devastation. Reborn, we can be. And will be. Sons and daughters of  those whose lives were declared meaningless enough to be used as tools. We carry their sufferance in our DNA, in our unspoken sadness, eternal, permanent, through and along with the light and joy we feel much stronger, for them to feel it too... through us.
