"Small charities of today are in threat. Charitable donations are down. Fewer people are donating. Those that do donate are giving less.

Practitioner:
Various Artists
Date:
May 1 2016

Flirtatious but not confrontational. She’s not quite a human but, mediated through the lens of a camera and the eyes of a man, an object of desire in the flesh.

The desperation that he expressed through his act of self-immolation caught on, literally, and spread across the country, into Algeria, and now to Egypt.
