FROM: Adam Roussopoulos, USA
very beautiful set of stamps, including one from 'the most beautiful suicide', the powerful photo taken by Robert C. Wiles in 1947 of a young woman after she jumped from the Empire State Building and crashed on top of a car below, her body remained composed and unbroken and her features untouched by the violent death, seeming at peace, resting in an elegant way on top of the twisted metal, she looked beautiful. how weird. Adam is also documenting the thread of conversation he had in social media as his stamp work drew some controversy.
Many thanks, Adam!
fascinating and grotesque as well as very sad and troubling
