explores the idea of an ideal family portrait amidst the backdrop of war.
Thinking of a family portrait becomes distorted as in several countries people become
victims of war, separated from their families, or having to leave behind family
members. Families are being constantly displaced because of the war, causing
loss and disintegration. This work shows a family portrait hiding behind green
bushes and behind everything that what is going on in the world.
