since are no many artworks posted yet I'll post this.

it's titled "Snowdrop" and it's one of the most evocative images I've seen.
Her seemingly happy face expressing the joy over freeing herself from slavery
and the contrast of her holding her fists tight from the cold and pain of her last minutes
really got to me when I first saw it.

Chinese University students lining up infront of the library in winter to study because of the library's heating.

The line still spans another x3 folds back.

Man. This is bringing tears to my eyes, and I'm not an emotional person. Seeing all of the poverty and negativity in the world is making me realize how selfish of a person I am. I'm inspired now to do much better in my life, and work to improve the lives of others. It hurts me now thinking about how little I've done for other people and how little I've tried to improve our world.

Willy Brandt, most important German politician, who fell to his knees upon visiting a memorial site for the Warsaw Ghetto. I think this is a very powerful picture.

mass murderer about to be shot

this is why context is important

I confirm this statement, He was a mass murdered but the guy doing the shotting was hated for the rest of his natural life even though he was ridding the people of threat.

Even the photographer regretted releasing it because of the damge i cause the shooter.

(not quite a'1000 words but relevant with lest then.)

A lot of the pictures in this thread need explanations to give context.

In this picture, do you see that small dot around the mid-left of the picture, between the thicker rings and the outer one? That is Earth as seen from Saturn.
