An Eye and a Lens - Bogotá

Bogotá was my home between 2004 - 2008. Despite the infamous reputation of both the city and Colombia as a country, i love it very much.

"Ants," a work by Colombian artist Rafael Gomez Barros, covers the National Congress in Bogota. Barros said the ants symbolize the people displaced by the continuing armed conflict in Colombia.
