Discarded flowers, Cuenca Cemetery, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

Discarded flowers, Cuenca Cemetery, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

A grim concrete container contains a discarded bouquet of flowers, symbolizing the thin line that exists between life and death itself. Groundskeepers at this cemetery remove flowers left on the tombs as soon as they begin to wilt – these, however, still show enough color to make us wonder if there was not still some life left in them. Another interpretation might be drawn: the blossoms that lie within this container might also be a metaphor for premature death.
