Stop The Violence

Stop The Violence

Kalashnikov,Kalash,AK-47

Francois Roberts is a Swiss photographer who is very involved with antiviolence campaigns. The gun is a symbol of violence, pain and death. Roberts has created a photograph of arranged real human bones in the shape of an Ak-47 on black velvet.
There is a macabre beauty that contrasts the whitish bones, possibly a symbol of purity and innocence versus the black velvet background, which reminds one of a funeral casket. The message is very direct guns kill people.
