Grave Images, Colombia
Grave Images, Chinquiquira Mausoleum, Colombia, In the towns of Girón, Barichara, and Morales nearly every family has been touched by the ongoing war between conservative and liberal ideologies. My colleague, Kim Yunez and I traveled to Colombia to explore the expressions of faith as manifested in memorials, grave markers, and church structures. Adjacent to each church is "la tierra sagrada" reserved for cemeteries and mausoleums. These images are expressions concerning the ways in which people deal with grief, sorrow, and death.
