Inspiration & Background

This artwork is inspired by pictures and films I have seen on the news about terrified people, needing to hide, trying to calm and comfort their children, because they feel the fear of their parents but do not really understand what it is about.

Background: So many people all over the world live in fear for their lives. In the news they talk about „500 refugees“ or „15 deaths“ or „2 million starving“ – but it’s always just numbers – numbers without a face, without an individual story, without wishes and dreams. I wanted to give a face to the fear that I can hear between the lines in the news. A family huddled together, in fear.
