This is really special



At first sight, it looks like a silver fern, the traditional emblem of New Zealand. But a closer look reveals the fern is formed by 50 silhouettes of Muslims in various stages of prayer. This is the compelling tribute that Pat Campbell, a cartoonist for Australia’s Canberra Times newspaper, drew in memory of the 50 people killed in the Christchurch mosque mass shootings.

No one on staff would tell him and he certainly doesn' frequent any place where he'd see it. It's totally foreign to his existence, highlighting peace and caring, two things he knows zero about and cares even less than that.
