Remains of the War Series: The Wait of the Orphans to Pick up Scraps of Food

1999, Lacquer on panel
90 x 130 cm

This picture entitled ‘The Wait of the Orphans to pick up scraps of food’ wished to show clearly that war leads only to destruction and despair. The countryside ordinarily is a place where people farm, thus growing things which fulfill their needs. These orphans, however, have no such place, nor a family or caring society to help them not to feel hunger."
