Desert Storm- #tuesdayorange

This is my submission for #tuesdayorange #colorchallenge. I created a large mixed media abstract landscape during the Iraq war which I titled Desert Storm in honour of the souls which were lost in that war. This photo is just a segment of the entire piece and has been digitally enhanced. The bright orange represents the burning sun, while the fuchsia pink represents the souls of the people who died. I incorporated crystals and polished stones into the piece to represent their spirit and the spirit of the desert where they lay.

I think a lot about the war in Syria and the devastation and destruction there. I pray for peace there and an end to the terrorism and death that has held the Syrian people captive for too long.
