Lafayette Hillside Memorial 2014

"Lafayette Hillside Memorial" (2014) by Binh Danh is a powerful photograph that commemorates the victims of the Rwandan genocide. The image depicts a field covered in wooden crosses, each representing a life lost in the horrific events of 1994. The use of the simple, yet evocative, imagery of crosses is a poignant reminder of the tragedy and the enduring impact of genocide. The photograph, taken in a somber black and white, amplifies the sense of loss and the lasting scar on the Rwandan landscape. Danh's artwork serves as a solemn tribute to the victims and a poignant reminder of the importance of remembering and learning from the past.
