Somewhere a drone pilot is sitting in front of a screen closely monitoring his target, and then he sees a kid’s face. As detached as possible from the battlefield, pilots of predator drones may think twice about pulling the trigger if they saw this gigantic portrait.
In a field in Northern Pakistan, this massive portrait of a young girl forms part of a project called #NotABugSplat. The project was created by a collective of artists to raise awareness of innocent lives lost due to drone strikes. The portrait was most likely not even seen by drone pilots before it was taken down, but its target audience, the denizens of the internet, will.
