University of Massachusetts -- Amherst

It was a week of thinking and talking about the war at the university, capped with a speech by Cindy Sheehan to an overflow crowd. What started in Chicago in January 2004 with 504 pairs of combat boots has now quadrupled in size. This aerial shot gives a sense of the enormity of the loss of this war. The shoes representing the Iraqi civlians who have died are now formed into a circular labyrinth where people walk in reflection. Each tiny dot represents a life lost.
