Min Gun- Revolutionary -- painting and photo of painting Copyright Kyi May Kaung --
Believe it or not, I generated this anonymous portrait from a photograph of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Halfway in the process,the painting changed gender and became a young man -- with no arms, I later found out. Kyi May Kaung

I am glad to know that civil society has been strengthened by the Cyclone, as I mentioned in an interview with RFA in June and at the E-W Center.
This is not to say that everything is hunky dory --
The Friends of Burma policy of depoliticizing the cyclone debate and demands has failed, the junta took all the cyclone aid and Daw Suu and the other political prisoners are still under arrest.
However, there is an infusion of new energy.
