so..america is seen a kind of a prejidous country..? that makes me sad :( but I really like it and how the five representative people portray such emotions of sorrow pain and suffering

Most of the third world and then everybody else.
Honestly, there are too many horrible tragedies that america has caused to count.
You have such a mastery of imagery, by the way, this image makes me a bit teary.
I love the figures in the foreground and especially the prosthetic leg in the back...just wow.

It seems like a very accurate desciption of the negative aspects of America, even though the image reprents alot from the past.. it's somehow very negative and I was looking for some hope somewhere
