"THE MEASURE OF A LIFE"
The worn wooden box holds the quiet memories of a time divided. A careful tally of inches and years tells the slow story of progress, an accounting that measures more than just cloth. It whispers of a time when the very value of a man was tragically negotiated, a silent testament to the long shadow cast by that great, sorrowful conflict.
The strange hooded figure holds the measure of a life, the baby sits on the worn ledger.
At the top are the innocent faces represent the lives catalogued as more valuable.
At the bottom the sweet child, smiling in a world of hate.
But the horn is there as a wake up call
