Five of them posing for the picture. Only one looks at the camera. They’re dressed mostly in black, with hair that wouldn’t pass in the military. Nothing past the shoulders, though. Males between the ages of 16 and 25. Young faces.

He’s in the back row, his head slightly blocked by another’s. The longest hair in the group, reaching the tip of his nose, he keeps it swept to one side where it partially covers an eye. His face looks a bit gaunt, but healthy.

Just as children often pose with open grins, these five pose with serious regards or preoccupied faces. Their age complements their attitudes, while their white skin contrasts with their outfits. They look like a group of young artists – critical of the world but excited for it.
