Jason Liggayu – Caretakers

This photograph, taken by R. Tot. (July 2011) while visiting a family friend in a hospital in Toronto, Canada, displays a statue of a nun with a Christian cross standing blurry in the background. The statue represents generosity and a willingness to help although the darkness that shrouds the nun’s face reflects the difficulty in doing so. The cross directly represents God while more indirectly represents faith or a sense of hope. These two details are mirrored in R. Tot. helping his friend by being there and having the faith, or hope, they shared.
