Driving to our company's pre-holiday bash, I was on the lookout for anything remotely resembling death... and this is the best I could do, aside from somewhat posibly interesting roadkill remains (from which I thoughtfully spared y'all). So, a metaphor then...
Tripod mount, very uninteresting sky, 1 sec at F/16 zoomed to 34mm. Levels, a border, and resized in Photoshop.

I think I understand what you are trying to say (I am currently in India and was going to do something similar) but I think you need a person there to show the concept of there being nothing left in their lives...
I dont get this as "death" there is a lot left with that building from what I can see... now had it just been a few bricks at the bottom, that would have been more to me than this.. this is still a structure.... mostly intact...
