Introduction
On November 13, 2005 I opened the newspaper to a striking and disturbing photograph of an Iraqi woman suicide bomber. Her bomb had failed to go off and she was captured unharmed. Her husband succeeded in his mission, blowing up an entire wedding party. I kept this photo on my bulletin board and thought about it for two years, wondering what goes on in the mind of someone who thinks they are going to heaven in the moment of immolation. This image sequence is my imagination of that moment of decision, seen from within and without.
