Candlelight

 This is my tribute to all the victims of all of the terror attacks by Da'esh (ISIL/ISIS) and their allies including Boko Haram, who joined forces with Da'esh in March.
 
Back row: Afghanistan, Kuwait, Tunisia,  Libya, Egypt, Syria, Niger, Yemen, Turkey, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia
Front row:  Chad, Cameroon, Iraq, Lebanon, France, Nigeria

Pen and paper are not my usual medium, but this piece felt like it would rip me apart unless I got it out.  I am very distressed that I actually had to change it mid-creation .  A marketplace in Dhaka was bombed today by Boko Haram with at least 32 casualties, so Nigeria had to be moved up to the front row on the fly.
