Description: Caption on back of image reads: "Mother at grave of 19-year-old daughter killed in earthquake. "She has no Marker", said the mother. I (Matthew Naythons) built a cross out of old wood and cloth I found on the ground, only later did I realize that it came from old coffins and shrouds that were bulldozed to make room for new graves. As I turned to leave, I didn't want to take the photo - having essentially constructed it. But when I turned around and saw her kneeling in front of the cross, I took my pictures. Then went back to hold her."
