For more than five decades, the black-and-white image of Irene Garza has haunted the town of McAllen, Tex., her story painfully recounted again and again. She was a 25-year-old dark-haired former beauty queen, her high school's first Latina drum majorette, the first in her family to graduate from college.

By
March 14th,2017 The physical devastation left by the Syrian war is tangible. But a less visible, more insidious damage is hurting the country's most vulnerable. Save the Children's 'Invisible Wounds' report found that Syria's children are suffering from a condition called 'toxic stress' , due to living in an almost constant state of fear and terror. In order to visualize the invisible, the NGO commissioned photographer Nick Ballon and conceptual artist Alma Haser to create a series of animated portraits and short videos. Ballon's thoughtful photos combined with Haser's paper manipulation techniques – folding, crumpling, ripping and origami – attempt to show the intense psychological pain these children suffer.
