On the September 15, 2005, Fred Tomaselli alters a more than disturbing front page image of bomb victims in Baghdad, drawing over a photograph with a colorful flower pattern. The swirling vines, reminiscent of traditional Islamic arabesques, distract from the horror of the subject, a suicide bombing that killed nearly 150 people in Iraq.
