The sound of horses racing against time
The look of fierceness in their eyes
It showed the invasion of their lives
The anger they felt for being displaced
Their lives taken for granted
Their land raped
Their hopes gone
The anticipated clash is nigh
The swords are sharpened
New skins replace old ones…
The fight for freedom
For fairness
For privacy
Will they win?
What do you think?
It may be possible
But who knows
As the ropes tightens
And the journey begins
The only thing left is Hope
But is it strong enough to sustain?
What do you think?
Lets wait and see…

This image reveals some tribal ceremony. Or maybe the things on that picture belong to some warrior? The fur of animal shows the aggressive manners of his/her owner. The picture below make the second image complete in my view.

Riding a fast dare, trying to achieve goals, what ever it will take, I will keep going on, it looks the way is dangerous this is why I need the weapon and some blood might be spent during the way. But I can see victory and success in this photo.

This image is recalling to my mind scabbard of sword which normally use in Middle Asia countries. That scabbards are decorated with cloth and wools.

This image immediately reminded me of a native tribe in Brunei which are the Ibans. I really didn't know why that image took me to the Ibans. But the image I have included may help to explain why. Maybe the suede brown cloth reminds me of his outfit. And the image of a body on this image also reminded me of the Iban because my idea of the Ibans are tribes that do not wear clothes but just enough to cover up their private parts.

When I looked at the image, I could see this animal skin as a bag or coat for people from China or Japan a couple of centuries ago where the war between states is still a very big thing. I can imagine a swordsman sitting on top of this horse with this ‘animal skin' hanging on his waist.

This picture shows the significance of how a culture owns its tools. It could represent someone who is going to hunt for food with his tools. The colors of the picture show more of the wild life and latest technology is not there yet.

It makes me remember a piece of this material that some person who I never saw again, gave me once a time.

When I see this picture, I think of it as Karapan sapi, a well known bull racing in Indonesia which is originally from Madura. This come across my mind because it looks like an equipment that they use for controlling the bull.

A hunter's life. The monotonous colours passes audiences, a monotonous tone. Everyday, the activities of the hunter are the same. Everything he meets are the same. Same sword, same tools, same furs – boring.

The image that has part of a deer is more like to be a bag to carry weapon. This … strikes me to the memory of the American Indians.

Bangladesh
MD Sharawar Taman Dhali

The picture seems to me that some body hunted a deer, took the skin off and put it on the wall with his sword. Basically he or she wanted to show that he/she was a good hunter. Our people used to do it before.

Brings out a sense of boredom, due to the shape and the gloss on it. Monotony can also be read through it, i.e., lack of creativity.

This image makes me think of some events held in Mongolia although I haven't gone there so far. I see a fur (looks like a bull) and a big knife, and also sth. Like fire. It is typical Mongolian activity in my mind. It also makes me think of Indians and the movie Seven Years' Itch, whose beginning shows the story of Indian life.

Although we came from multicultural and diverse places, whether black or white, we still have one color of blood, red.

The deer seems to be the prey for a tribe's dinner. I thought about the red Indians too. When I looked at the picture again, deer to me is always associated with sleighs – reindeer and the sleigh with Santa sitting on it.

This picture shows the horse's nose. It reminds me that I seem to come back to my childhood. That is very pure period. Just enjoy your wonderful life.

The moment I saw this image, I began to think of anthropology and the way in which we all began as hunter gatherers at one point in time. Our societies have shaped themselves and reformed as time has gone by, forming communities and new forms of thinking. Such tribes and communities still exist today, but are not as visible and in light as once before. In response to this feeling I wrote the following poem:

It is time to hunt, it is time to gather
One has learnt to feed, and suppress hunger at the same time
Our understanding of a leader,
Has been misunderstood
And now there is only survival.
In the midst of the fight
To mark one's territories
We should forget not, to come together
And we should never forget,
That we are not alone.
We are one.

There is a sword which has been used by make animal's parts such as fathers and deer skin. These animals may not be the dangers but finally creation of their parts is the danger which means for danger and fights. These weaponry look very nice but behind that we feel the danger because of those that use it for the danger.
