The Gliffords Martyrs (2011)

This is the assembled altar to the Gliffords Martyrs: Christina Green, Gabe Zimmerman, John Roll, Dorothy Morris, Dorwan Stoddard and Phyllis Schneck. They all died, victims of senseless violence directed against Representative Gliffords, who miraculously survived a bullet in the brain. These victim did not seek martyrdom, but achieved it through their interest and dedication to the democratic process. Their lives and deaths should not be in vain.

What a wonderful tribute. I love the way you connected them fir life via a double triptych. Very clever. You made sure that their lives and death will never be in vain. My POD.
