Original artwork description:

Starts in May is about children playing outside in a city during the war. Buildings are damaged, schools destroyed, trees burned. But children carry on, seeking each other out and always trying to get back into their game.

Kids inspire me. Their ability to transcend any given rotten situation is astounding. Playing tag in the ruins of a bombed Syrian city. Playing football in the most miserable neighborhoods. They are always looking for the light. They will save the future that our generations have really messed up, not even blaming us for it. If we only could keep the kid in ourselves a bit more, we wouldn’t be in such a mess. Art can help us to re-find our childlike innocence
