MWM: Unthinkable

Mornings With Mary



Base Photo Source

The base photo for this art is from HBO's info page for the original movie Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God, a documentary of priest abuse dating back to the 50s. I added effects to the photo using the Polyvore website, where I create all my art.

victims of power
mary mourns the hurt children
wraps them in her love

  1. dear maggie grace,
    this imagine of mary is gorgeous. you have created a feeling of mystery and intrigue, and universal grief with her tear lined cheeks. your haiku is full of compassion and care for the innocence of youth.
    may we all be caretakers of wonder.
