The photo of a dazed little boy from Aleppo sitting in an ambulance as a causality of war made front page news in 2016. His image is likened to the one from from the Viet Nam era when a photographer caught a naked young girl, burned and petrified, arms pleading, fleeing for her life. Who can forget that photo?
The image of the youngster from Aleppo is also difficult to forget. I have sculpted him as a way to express the loss of innocence. This boy has been introduced to war and its consequences.
