My Space for Your Life - People, Not Collateral Damage

2008, ongoing

Yuliya Lanina for Daughter of a Dead Woman

Project Description

This project employs the potential of viral communication within social networking web sites (in this case Facebook) to spread awareness of the "collateral damage" accompanying the Iraq war (and all wars). Memorial Facebook pages are created in honor individuals killed in Iraq. Volunteers have agreed to stand in for the Iraqi named in the sign they hold. These pages are then circulated through the Facebook community by the act of friending. I have completed over twenty-five portraits at this point. contact me.
