We spent an evening and day in Cambodia's capital city. The most chilling moment came at dusk, when we visited the fields where just thirty years ago, the execution squads of Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge murdered thousands of Cambodian citizens. The monsoon rains regularly uncover human bones. This handful of bones, neatly stacked in a hollowed out tree trunk by someone who cared enough to do so, and illuminated in the warm glow of the evening sun, speaks volumes in symbolic terms. These human remains can certainly represent the nature of evil, but they could also symbolize great courage, because many of these people who died were Buddhists who publicly protested the violence in Cambodian life. The tidy piles represent honor as well – they were not left lying on the ground where they came to the surface, but rather gathered together and displayed as a memorial to those who died here. And finally there is the context for this wideangle image – the growing tree symbolizes the continuation of life, serving as an ironic shelter for the bones of those who perished here.
