#5: Symbols

Here, in this image, you can see a young man carrying a coffin. And this image was shot in Accra in Ghana. At the time when HIV aids was very much a topic, I staged this picture, the coffin is empty. But for me, it symbolizes the pressure which is on young people who have been infected with the HIV virus. This generation of young people who were already carrying death on their shoulders, basically. And the small Nike logo also refers to the small red ribbons of the HIV logo.
