Dear <<empyreans>>,

this work struck me as important for the conversation.

Akram Al Halabi writes: "Harsh images and videos of massacres published 
in the media. Images hard to watch. During the last three years, I was 
writing on these images what I see in the image itself.

"Calling upon things by their names ... to remind ourselves that they 
exist! Writing words or the names of what we see... no more.

""Ear, Eye, Brow, Window, Blood, Nose, Child, Neck, Throat, Chin, 
Shoulder, Heart, Mother, Fingers, Cheek...""
