War - Trapped In Memories

War - Trapped In Memories
watercolour/collage on paper
Year 8
Albury High School, Albury
@ Commonwealth Place

Mainly I got the idea for this artwork from my family’s recollections and stories of living through wars and how hard it was to leave the country, which is represented with the barbed wire. The media lately has triggered my memories of my childhood and the difficulties of living in a country that was not always secure. I feel my self-portrait was an easy way to express my feelings about what’s happening in the world at the moment as well as my previous life experiences. Putting all these things together gave this self-portrait.
