Parallel Worlds (Warning: Graphic Content)

Uğur Gallen was born and lives in Turkey, and for years has seen neighboring Syria plunged into a civil war that has affected the lives of millions of people. He is bothered by the inequality and contrasts in the way of life of citizens living close to each other, but practically living in different worlds.

It’s hard to be immune to the power of a good photo. This is the media used by Gallen to evidence the striking differences between contrasting worlds of developed countries and those that are plagued by conflicts. Through his project, he tries to capture the enormous
and at the same time dramatic contrast of these “two completely contrasting worlds.”

You can choose to be creative and enrich lives or you can choose to blow shit up and kill people.

Or you can be born into a situation that doesn't give you much of a choice at all.

This man's technique forces intellect to join compassion. Just devastating. Must viewing.

These are images the rightwing would call liberal propaganda and be furious if they were forced to view them, furious if their "beautiful minds" are disturbed in the least. God made this the best of all possible worlds just for them.

Thanks for posting, Bayard. These are stiring reminders of what the end result of soulless intolerance looks like.
