Content and Composition

Title: Acul, Nebaj

Author: James Rodriguez

Date: 2017

The content of the image is incredible, hundreds of thousands of people were unable to be properly identified and given a proper burial. The content overplays the composition, without the context the image has little meaning. The image depicts two men carrying a wooden casket on their shoulders, walking down a dirt road. The stray dog, dirt road, and poorly constructed housing are a representation of poverty, possibly why it took so long to recover the DNA for a proper burial.
