Worry Dolls


Caught

Spikes on the top of a gate, near Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. I'm not sure who put these figures here. I take it as a statement about civilians, largely ethnic Maya, being caught in the middle of opposing forces during the long Guatemalan civil war.

Actually these are worry dolls. You tell them your troubles, and then you don't have to worry.
