20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Project MARIA, Counting Series: Four Fish to Sell

This work, presenting a scene from Kharkiv, Ukraine manifests my inability to make sense of the conscious eradication of human life on such scales. In the Counting series, authenticated photographs from the Alexander Wienerberger Collection were marked with lines and dots, representations of the ancient Salamis counting tool.
