anonymous

human skin

This week’s theme for the photo blog was “anonymous”. One thing that every living being has in common is that we are made up of thousands of anonymous ancestors- people who we will never know and who have been long forgotten by our families. And while we may never know who they were, what they believed in or wanted to be- the aftermath of our ancestors’ existences is embedded in our skin. Each person is a monument, a memorial of thousands of anonymous people that came before us.
