This was taken in Kabul. Those who can afford, for security reasons, install razor wire around their 10-15 ft high walls . I managed to take only one shot, because the bird flew away when I tried to approach it. This image, of a dove inside of a razor wire, spoke to me about how some of us, humans, can feel entrapped ( it can be a relationship, difficulties in life), even though we are free. But for some, even though they might in real situation imprisoned, whether it's illness or prison, in spirit, they are free.
