American artist Jim McNalis has made his celebrated sculptures of Burmese personalities more accessible by creating postcards of them. His fine portrayal of Aung San Suu Kyi appeared as a postcard to coincide with her release from house arrest. On the reverse of the card, McNalis writes: “Aung San Suu Kyi reminds us there is no such thing as neutrality; that if one person’s freedom is denied, the freedom of all people is in jeopardy. She reminds us that the battle for human rights and dignity is never over.” |
