Her tattered robe and dirt-smudged face have summoned compassion from around the world;  and her beauty has been unforgettable.  The clear, strong green of her eyes encouraged a bridge between her world and the West.  And likely more than any other image, hers has served as an international emblem for the difficult era and a troubled nation.\" - Phaidon 55\n\nThe iconic image does not stand outside of time.  Rather, it connects with the moment in a deeply profound way.  Such as images are imbued with meaning, a significance that resonates deeply with a wide and diverse audience.  McCurry's photograph of the Afghan girl is one such image.  For many, this beautiful girl dressed in a ragged robe became a worldwide symbol for a nation in a state of collapse.  \n\nBannon, Anthony.
