Deep psychological injury … physical damage … Now, War has ended … but not the suffering. Fields of mine still exist … Bodies fall … Victims multiply … Their wounds remain open sores … The Story "The betrayal of the Land" A Mine is buried into the ground … kept hidden to the eye, unrevealed, unseen … A fatal touch … the explosion … Death, mutilation, disfigurement, trauma … Disability … The Land has become the enemy … The Mission "Reconcile the Body with the Land" The floating Body rises … and transcends reality … A glorious struggle … Labor, Creativity, Hope, Life … The Scar turns into Light. The Body has accepted its mut(il)ation … its mutation. Body and Land become one … Constant reminder of our collective obsessions … World Rehabilitation Fund, Inc.
