In the Native American tradition of the Ghost Dance one of its the elements is to
dance back the spirits of the Dead. I have used this as a metaphor for those who lost
their lives during the Troubles. Whilst I was making the picture the numbers of people being
killed was changing at an alarming rate. So the number in the picture is a chilling reminder
of that loss of life.
