Mixed media: watercolour with pen and ink
Inspired by a photograph taken by the artist during his 2005 visit to an orphange located in Swakopmund, Namibia. "Words simply cannot describe the overwhelming feeling one gets when visiting an orphanage in Africa. Despite all of their hardships, the children I encountered were hopeful, positive, high-spirited and inspirational. Jawa was the name of this particular child whose family whose family had all died of AIDS related illness."
