as she did the souls through that conduit
with water and thorny resolve

A photograph of a circular mural of red paint splatters, forming a rose-like shape on a gray concrete ground outside the Sarajevo Tunnel Museum. The red of the 'rose' is a poignant symbol, reflecting the historical pain and hope of escapees during the Siege of Sarajevo.
