Canadian-born photographer Steve Simon made this image while focusing on HIV/AIDS. This image of a funeral parlor in Lesotho was published in the Fall 2008 issue of Photo District New's EDU edition.
The light is almost a character in this photograph -- it could represent the souls of the people lying in the caskets, a heavenly being, hope, or a number of other ideas we associate with life and death.
I like the opposition of bright, white light with dark, black shadows. Again, this plays into the yin-yang of life and death.
