Wherever the screen is touched, a section of what lies behind is made visible.
And as your finger slides over it, the visible area simultaneously opens up and contracts from where you moved away.

Visible only partly, what at first appears to be young boys smiling and waving at the camera, opens into slow painful understanding that, what they are posing along side is debris from a car bomb blast!

However, the young boys smile - laugh at the international media camera - no longer able to feel horror, pain and tragedy of such a violence which has unnervingly become an everyday event for them - of growing up and knowing the world.
