Homenaje a la niña/mujer siria

Tribute to the syrian girl/woman, 2016

Mixed media and collage on canvas
20 x 52 cm.

Artwork done for the exhibition "Refugees: a dream of humanity", a charity exhibition to raise funds for Syrian refugees, done at the Ho! Gruf (Lugo, Spain).

Poem written in the artwork:

My body was not made to suffer

but now I know that it would resist a hecatomb.

I am like a cockroach.

I am like a Muslim messiah.

I am the representative of humanity.

My mother told me

"If you can't hide your soul, hide your body.

If you can't hide your body, hide your face. "

Tomorrow I won't have to protect myself.

Tomorrow, the whole world will listen to me.
